February 13, 2007 - Pittsfield, Mass. – The Junior League of Berkshire County (JLBC) has been awarded a grant of $2,196.00 from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. The funds will be used for “The Discovery Program,” a mentoring program for teenage girls at Girls Incorporated of the Berkshires, a program of the Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center.
“The Junior League of Berkshire County is excited about bringing strong women mentors to teenage girls in our community for the third year in a row,” says Courtney Meisberger, President of the Junior League of Berkshire County. “We are delighted that The Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation realizes the potential of this program and is helping us to make it even stronger.”
