SU FYI

Today at the Senior Center

1. Today at 11am at Stockbridge Senior Center (in the Town Offices). Peace, Love, and Chocolate with Jack Gremli. Fun and a pizza lunch with special treats from Peace Love and Chocolate (our local shop in The Mews). Join us!!

Coffee and Conversation with Sen. Mark and Rep. Pignatelli

2. A brief report on Coffee and Conversation with Representative Pignatelli and Senator Mark (Monday February 13) was attended by over 50 people. Lively conversation about a variety of issues went on for a little over two hours. Select Board Chair Patrick White thanked them for coming and they, in turn, thanked White for arranging it. If you missed it, it was a hybrid meeting, and will be available on www.CTSB.org

SNAP Fundraiser

3. Our Market Match Fund campaign “Double SNAP for a Great(er) Impact” will be available on the crowdfunding platform FundRazr in March! Growing the Market Match Fund is a win-win. Boost sales for local farmers and increase food security for our neighbors. In 2022 the Market Match Fund assisted 10 Berkshire-area farmers markets in doubling SNAP benefits $1-for-$1. This effort supported over 4,500 low-income households in purchasing local foods. AND generated more than $200,000 in sales for local producers. This is your opportunity to join us in making 2023 the most impactful farmers market season yet. Together we can Double SNAP for a Great(er) Impact!

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!
