Description: |
| Letter writing is a powerful tool; it helps us connect to others, advocate for our community, express our gratitude to one another, and uplift each other's spirits. In light of the ways in which we've had to remain physically separated as we collectively face this pandemic, we encourage you to utilize letter writing on this MLK Jr. Day. Letter writing packets with materials and more information can be picked up on January 18th from 10am-12pm at the Northern Berkshire Community Council, the UNO Community Center in North Adams, or the First Congregational Church in Williamstown. Any completed letters may also be dropped off at these locations, or you may send them yourself. If you would prefer a letter writing guide (without materials) emailed to you instead, please call NBCC at 413-663-7588 or email aa9@williams.edu. |
