Berkshire Benevolent Association for the Blind drive update
Donors have given 805 toward a 2000 goal for the Berkshire Benevolent Association for the Blind. Alfred Newman, president, notes the goal is 500 more than last year due to rising costs and membership. Two new members will join at the January meeting, totaling eight for this year and 28 overall. Donations may be sent to Pittsfield Post Office Box 778. The December drive began at the organization's Christmas party last Monday.
