A Fabulous First For The Northern Berkshire United Way
The Northern Berkshire United Way (NBUW) held its first annual Spirit of Caring Awards and Celebration on Thursday, May 17 at MCLA’s Church Street Center in North Adams. Three community members were honored for their length and breadth of service to NBUW, its network partners and the overall Northern Berkshires. Al Nelson was presented with the Spirit of Caring award which will now carry his name. NBUW’s executive director for 15 years, Nelson has served on many local boards of directors and currently serves as vice president of the Northern Berkshire Interfaith Action Initiative. Former four-term North Adams Mayor Dick Alcombright, who now works with the event’s lead sponsor, MountainOne Bank, was honored with the Spirit of Community award. The Spirit of the Future award was presented to Christine Hoyt, a member of the Town of Adams Selectboard and a board member for Youth Center, Inc. and others. Mary-Kay Senecal and Cindy Brightly of Crane Stationery were presented with the 2018 Outstanding Campaign Coordinators award for their fundraising work on behalf of the NBUW.
