PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Disabled American Veterans (DAV) will be receiving more than $76,000 from a Price Chopper/Market 32 fundraising campaign to provide lifetime support to veterans and their families. 
 
Price Chopper/Market 32 kicked off the fundraiser with a $10,000 donation and, combined with customer donations, raised $76,471 to go directly to DAV.
 
"As an organization, Disabled American Veterans goes above and beyond to provide veterans and their families lifetime support, free rides to medical appointments and connections to meaningful employment opportunities," said Mona Golub, Price Chopper/Market 32's vice president of public relations and consumer services. "Price Chopper/Market 32 is proud to support their efforts on behalf of those who served and fought for our country."
 
DAV's goal is to empower veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. This is accomplished by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them, fighting for the interests of America's injured heroes on Capitol Hill, and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

CBRSD Aims to Improve Town Meeting Attendance

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — As town meeting season approaches, the Central Berkshire Regional School District aims to lower a barrier to residential participation caused by the lack of child care.
 
District Assistant Superintendent Michael Henault informed the School Committee last week that the district plans to offer child care at Kittredge, Beckett-Washington and Wahconah High schools on voting nights, provided by a combination of National Honor Society students and staff volunteers.
 
"We're organizing that right now … we're going to make it work, make it happen. A survey will go out to see the interest, but we're going to try to take away that barrier," he said. 
 
The committee recently unanimously voted to have Henault take over the superintendent position following the retirement of Leslie Blake-Davis on June 30
 
"I appreciate the thoroughness of the search and aside from setting your budget every year, selecting the superintendent is the biggest responsibility of this committee. Throughout the process, I saw how committed and dedicated all of you were to it, and I'm obviously thrilled by the outcome and ready to go," he said. 
 
"I really appreciate that at the end of the night, the unanimous show of support that really tells me that despite where anybody might stand throughout the process, that we'll be able to work together to really get things done, which is really important."
 
Henault has started the transition process into his new role with the district.
