SU FYI

The Stockbridge Mohican Commission 

The members of the newly formed committee are Rich Bradway, Bonney Hartley, Shannon Holsey, Patrick White, Sherry White, and Rick Wilcox. The three members from the Mohican Nation do not wish to conduct open meetings. They would prefer to meet in public only to announce decisions. Apparently, that is a possibility, but it would be a loss to the many supporters and folks who take an active interest in this commission.

Berkshire Botanical Garden announces a summer exhibition. As we shiver and wait for the next snow, it seems too early to discuss to discuss “DayDream, A Summer Exhibition.” However, we could not resist giving you something to look forward to. Look at this line-up: works by Salvador Dalí, Annie Leibovitz, Yoko Ono, Jamie Wyeth, plus. Open June through August 2025. More details when the snow melts.

Congratulations to Monument Mountain Regional High School senior Audrey Allard. A four-year singer in the high school chorus, Allard has been accepted into the Massachusetts All-State Chorus ensemble.

On Saturday, March 29th, Audrey will perform at Symphony Hall in Boston.Congratulations and many, many Happy Returns to Shirley Franz Miller – 95 years old this month.

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!
