Pittsfield Clothes Closet


We have been busy at the Clothes Closet since we returned to management last November. (It has been easier the second time around!) Patrons have been generous with donations and our volunteers keep active processing items and distributing them for sale in the shop. Holidays will be here before we know it so this is a good time to educate newcomers about our facility and include reminders for those who have supported us over the years.


The Clothes Closet is located to the rear of the building that houses the new TOY STORE on the corner of Depot and Carroll Streets facing Rite Aid. We are a nonprofit operation dependent on contributions of clothing and household items for resale and completely staffed by volunteers. We pay rent and our utilities. If we are able to build up a fund, we give donations to local organization and those with emergency needs.


Please be aware of our open hours. (Tues., Wed.: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sat.: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and our plea to donate only items that are in condition to be resold. Unfortunately, all thrift shops are at times recipients of items that are simply dropped off for convenience. The persons who recently dropped off several bugs and boxes outside our door to be ruined by a night’s rain did no service for the shop or the community. We are grateful for the majority of patrons who are cooperative and caring. Especially do we thank those who graciously honored a recent request to refrain from leaving donations until we can organize and deal with what we have. As soon as we can make space, we welcome your donations.


Robert and Beverly  Drolet

Participate in Lights On Afterschool!


On Thursday, October 22, 2009, from 4-6 p.m. the Pittsfield Youth Workshop (PYW) will be holding an Open House for Lights On Afterschool. We hope you drop by, ask questions and see what we have to offer the youth in Pittsfield.


7,500 communities and 1 million Americans will be celebrating afterschool programs at the Afterschool Alliance’s 10th annual Lights On Afterschool!  This nationwide event calls attention to the importance of afterschool programs and the resources required to keep the lights on and the doors open. The Pittsfield Youth Workshop is proud to be a Lights On Afterschool National Supporting Organization.


Too many children -  14.3 million - are missing out on afterschool opportunities. Participate in Lights On Afterschool and help call attention to this important issue. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire learning. In the U.S. today, too many children go home alone after school.


To learn more about Lights On Afterschool, register an event, access Event Planning Tools, or find out what is going on in our/your area on October 22, visit www.afterschoolalliance.org. Lights On Afterschool is a project of the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that all children have access to afterschool programs.

 


 

Good News For Pittsfield Players Patrons!


For three years now the Pittsfield Players have offered the convenience of buying show tickets through www.pittsfieldplayers.com using the TicketLeap link. The ease of using a credit card to purchase tickets and to reserve online has prompted many theater-goers who may not normally attend to purchase tickets. Unfortunately, once they got to the theatre they were still required to stand in line and pick up their physical ticket so that the players could have an accurate account of tickets sold through the box office.


Good news! We heard your frustration and have corrected the problem. Ticket Leap ticket holders will have a separate line that will enable them to enter the theater without stopping at the box office and have their seating expedited by the ushers. The Pittsfield Players realize that Ticket Leap users spend a little bit more money to use the convenience of Ticket Leap and want to make your experience as efficient as possible. When you enter the theatre lobby for the next performance of Big River, just look for the Ticket Leap sign and you’ll be on your way to finding your reserved seats.

 


 

Ladies Aid


Submitted By Joan Riel
The Ladies Aid of the First Congregational Church in Pittsfield met in the church vestry the afternoon of October 5th. The meeting was opened by President, Freda Jones and began with devotions by Arlene Martin, a reading appropriate for the fall season, “Only Loaned” by Garnett Ann Shultz. Joan Riel read “To Be A Pumpkin,” then all joined in the Lord’s Prayer.


The Secretary, Joan Riel, gave her report of the September meeting and read correspondence. The Treasurer, Audrey Moore, gave her financial report of savings and checking accounts.


Members voted to continue the same slate of officers for the coming year, namely, President, Freda Jones; Vice President, Louise Kenney; Secretary, Joan Riel; Treasurer, Audrey Moore.


At the November meeting, plans will be discussed for the food table at the annual Christmas Fair on November 21st. This is the groups only fundraiser each year. At the December meeting, the bags that were previously made, will be filled with candies and tied, to be distributed to seniors during the Christmas Season.


Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the meeting a joint effort by some of those attending. The afternoon came to a close with all joining in the Mizpah Benediction.
