No Meeting December 30
No meeting Thursday January 30th.   Happy New Year
 
Also, Mazzeo’s Restaurant takes a traditional hiatus during the first weeks of January.  Because of this, we will meet at Restaurant 101 at the Holiday Inn in downtown Pittsfield for the first two weeks of January.   This is located on the second floor of the Holiday Inn.  You do need to enter via the first floor given the court usage of the ballroom area.   
Pittsfield Public Schools Gratitude Line
We will be partnering with the Gladys Allen Brigham Center on Friday January 14th to participate in a "Gratitude Line" coordinated by 18 Degrees.  We have chosen Allendale Elementary  school.  More details and a sign-up sheet will follow but here is the initial details: 
 
Friday January 14th is a half day for students and whole day for staff, and showing our gratitude for public service is the perfect kick-off to the Martin Luther King Jr weekend. On that day, we would like to organize staff gratitude lines at each school at the end of the day (3:30 for elementary and 2:20 for middle and high schools).  We will also make sure to recognize the bus operators, administration, adult learning center, Eagle Academy, and online learning center staff, and we’re figuring out the best way to reach those PPS employees. All told, we estimate there are 1200 staff working in the schools in different capacities.   
 RSVP or Zoom
Please RSVP your intent to Joan DiMartino (joan.dimartino@gd-ms.com) by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday so she may give Mazzeo's a head count. If unable to attend, our luncheon meetings are also available live on Zoom.

2022 Auction Update

The latest from our Auction Committee: Thank you for your continued support of the Rotary Auction! This year's theme matches our Rotary year theme: “Serve to Change Lives.” Donation forms have been distributed to the membership, so it's time to start collecting items. The auction is going to be Saturday, February 12, 2022 at Berkshire Hills Country Club. A blank donation form that you may use to collect even more great items for the auction was sent to members in a separate email. The form is also downloaded onto the Club’s website (“Home Page Downloaded Forms”). We'd love to be able to include as many local partners as possible. If you want to check to make sure that another member hasn't solicited an item already, you can view the updated item solicitation spreadsheet online [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BCO96dhdXVnOL2yacSZUH0YW_UoVG6u9lyTBkVNn8FU/edit?usp=sharing]. Questions about items or the spreadsheet can go to Alex Reczkowski.
