Berkshire South - Make A Wish - December 01, 2008
Great Barrington, Mass. – In the spirit of the season, along with our continued mission of community and common purpose, Berkshire South Regional Community Center is looking for families and individuals who would benefit from support this holiday season. Our desire is to connect these people with caring community members who are willing to be their “Shining Star”. A “Shining Star” would be a member from our community who would generously purchase a gift for someone that you would nominate.
We are asking you to nominate families or individuals who would appreciate having their star lit this holiday season. We are hoping to supply a gift or two to individuals who are struggling in our current economic climate. Whether a child, a teen, a family or a senior you can make a difference.
We need to have all of your nominations to us no later than December 8, 2008. We will include a card stating that someone in the community wanted to be their “Shining Star” and that we hope they enjoy their holiday.
If you are interested in being a “Shining Star” and would like to purchase a gift for someone in need or make a monetary donation, you can either stop by the Center and pick a star to light up the face of a child or an adult or give us a call and we will pick a star for you. Contact 528-2810 Joan x34 jpeters@berkshiresouth.org or Brenda x38 btrierweiler@berkshiresouth.org. We need to have gifts purchased and returned to us, unwrapped, no later than December 17, 2008. Berkshire South appreciates the communities continued support and wishes all the best this holiday season. |
