We welcome new trustee Pamela Shad, who was nominated and voted in at our recent Annual Meeting. She lives in Great Barrington and will help us with outreach in Berkshire County. She joins continuing trustees Jim Couchon, Cheryl Funk, Tom LaValley, Joan Pillsbury, Cecile Richard, Alex Tinari and Sandy Ward. We thank Kate Mason for her service as a trustee for the past six years, including four years as secretary and her helpful role in collecting and processing our incoming mail from the Greenfield Post Office.

The following Officers were elected October 20 and began their one-year terms at the conclusion of our November 13 board meeting:

  • Jim Couchon, President
  • Sandy Ward, Vice President
  • Joan Pillsbury, Treasurer
  • Alex Tinari, Secretary

We are disappointed that another candidate nominated on October 20 for the board of trustees has had to withdraw because of unexpected new demands on her time. We hope she’ll join us in the future.
