The talk show of the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, hosted by Al Bashevkin and Scott Nichols, each month takes a look at key issues of concern to the residents of Northern Berkshire county. This month Al and Scott will offer a preview to the upcoming monthly forum, entitled “Teen Pregnancy.” The show airs on local access television.
This September, the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition’s Youth Leadership Program, in partnership with MASS MoCA and the City of North Adams, will be eligible for a $250,000 grant to build a skatepark and public art space in downtown North Adams. This grant, through PepsiCo’s Refresh Everything contest, will be awarded to the proposal that receives the greatest number of digital votes throughout the month of September. Anyone over the age of 13 may vote, and people may vote twice per day – once by text message and once online. Because grants are awarded by popular vote, our success relies completely on community outreach and support.
If you wish to volunteer, please contact Emily Baker-White or Kate Merrigan at 413.663.7588 or by email at ebakerwhite@nbccoalition.org and kmerrigan@nbccoalition.org. We are also on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=128963863792041&ref=ts.
Above all, please vote and spread the word throughout September!

Caring for an ill loved one can be both one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in life. You are striving to do your best, and you can’t be everything for everyone.
This guide has resources to help you be the best caregiver you can be.
There are only four kinds of people in the world those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.
