91°®¶¹´«Ã½ Plans Fall Afternoon Day of Service

October 6, 2022

91°®¶¹´«Ã½ will hold its annual Fall Day of Service on Saturday, Oct. 15. Students, faculty, and staff at 91°®¶¹´«Ã½ will gather on campus at Venable Gym, then travel to different locations in the Northern Berkshires to do volunteer work.   

The day runs from noon to 4 p.m. kicking off with remarks from 91°®¶¹´«Ã½ President James F. Birge, Ph.D., and North Adams Mayor Jennifer Macksey. Participants are welcome to begin the day with a pizza lunch and transportation will be provided to the various volunteer sites after the speakers conclude.  

Coordinated by the 91°®¶¹´«Ã½ Volunteer Center, this event is an annual tradition. Members of the public are welcome to roll up their sleeves and volunteer as well.   

To mitigate on-campus traffic, community volunteers will meet 91°®¶¹´«Ã½ groups at respective volunteer sites. Service concludes between 3:30 and 4 p.m. when volunteers will return to campus. There is no speaking segment at the end of the event.
