Cornhole Tournament Fundraiser: Saturday, August 27th, Dalton VFW (Bags fly at noon)  The Dalton VFW is located at 366 East Housatonic Street, Dalton and they are rolling out the red carpet for us. With a wonderful yard for game play, a pavilion, and inside space, we will make it work rain or shine.  They are offering us a full menu of great grilled and picnic food as well as all drinks at cost!  Please SAVE THE DATE, or click here to register or get sponsorship information  It should be such a FUN fundraiser!

Details are still being worked out, but the REALTOR Community Service committee has again selected Neighbor -to- Neighbor grant program administered by the Taconic Foundation, to be the recipient of the proceeds.  This program is used by all of the other social service agencies throughout the county and makes small grants (up to $1,000 ) to help with urgent fuel costs, utilities, medical bills, short-term housing costs and transportation problems.

We hope to see you there – and hope you can tap your contact lists to get sponsors!

More about our benefit fund:  Neighbor -to- Neighbor is administered by the Taconic Foundation, a non-profit organization that administers over 99 grants and scholarships in Berkshire County.  The BTCF granted more than $5.1 million in 2020 to make life in Berkshire County even better. For this fund, grant funds are written directly to the provider, not the recipient and is not intended for long-term or ongoing assistance. Knowing how high fuel, electric, food costs are rising, we thought it was important to help provide a safety net to those who might not have qualified for other governmental assistance. In speaking to some of the local non-profits, we discovered this is a tool they used to address urgent need to help achieve a measure of stability and avert further crises.
