DALTON, Mass. — The Dalton Rotary Club provided a meal to residents of Soldier On in Pittsfield on Super Bowl Sunday.
 
Club members prepared and delivered chili, cornbread, wings, chips, and brownies for approximately 60 veterans. 
 
Michelle Pullano, Club president, stated the meal was intended as an expression of gratitude to veterans.
 
"It was just our way of saying thank you to those who have served this country," said Pullano. "We hope others will follow our lead and support this worthy organization."
 
Soldier On, established in 1994, is a non-profit organization that provides housing and support services to veterans. The organization serves veterans across four northeastern states. Veterans who have served at least one day of active duty, without a dishonorable discharge, are eligible for assistance.
 
In Pittsfield, Soldier On provides services to an estimated 250 to 300 veterans annually, including transportation and housing assistance.

Dalton Fire Station Space Needs Study to Be Presented Sept. 1

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — For years, the Fire Department has grappled with cramped quarters and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance issues.
 
Now, a comprehensive Community and Space Needs Analysis is set to shed light on the department’s space needs and potential solutions.
 
On Sept. 1, Mark Waters of Mission CIT will present the report to the Board of Water Commissioners at the Dalton Fire Station, located at 20 Flansburg Avenue. 
 
Currently, the monthly meetings are held on the second floor of the fire station, which requires advance accommodation requests for those with mobility disabilities because of its lack of ADA compliance.
 
The press release advises anyone who requires a reasonable accommodation to participate in the meeting to contact the ADA Coordinator at (413) 684-6118, ext. 2, in advance.
 
"While the District will do its best to accommodate you, certain accommodation requires the hiring of outside contractors who may not be available if requested immediately before the meeting," the press release said. 
 
The presentation was initially set for Aug. 25 but was postponed because the Board of Water Commissioners didn’t have a quorum.
