Warmer weather brings visitors to the city of North Adams and the Mayor’s Office of Tourism is preparing to again open the Tourist Booth on Union Street, in front of the Windsor Mill. The booth will be open from 10:00 – 4:00 PM, seven days a week, from June 1 through October 13, Columbus Day, 2008.
 
Working at the tourist booth is easy, and rewarding. Our current volunteers get a lot of satisfaction from serving just a few hours each month. Scheduling is flexible, duties are easy, and include handing out brochures and directing visitors to meals and lodging. Orientation for new volunteers will be provided.
 
All volunteers will be feted at an appreciation brunch and informational session before the tourist booth season. The brunch will include informational presentations from the City of North Adams, MASS MoCA and other tourist venues in the city. Volunteers will also receive a free gallery tour at MASS MoCA. Interested persons are urged to contact Lisa Loomis, Volunteer Coordinator at 413-652-3246 at the Mayor’s Office of Tourism, 6 West Main Street, North Adams. Seasonal operation of the North Adams Tourist Booth is made possible by the city of North Adams and the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce.
