Past Events:
The 20th annual Habitat for Humanity Christmas Tree Showcase was held on Saturday, December 5th at the First Congregational Church in Williamstown. This annual event is part of the Williamstown Holiday Walk Weekend. The Showcase included the raffle of 138 miniature trees all decorated by volunteers, the sale of angels from the “angel tree” in memory or honor of loved ones, the sale of donated gift baskets and a baked goods sale. All proceeds go directly in to the building or renovation of a home for a deserving family. As always, we depend on the generosity of the community to present this showcase and again appreciate all the businesses, community groups and individuals who contributed decorated trees, gift baskets and baked goodies for this year’s Showcase. THANK YOU TO ALL AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2010 !!

Northern Berkshire Habitat for Humanity recently held a Wine Tasting event at Mezze Bistro and Bar in Williamstown. More than 75 guests enjoyed tasting a flight of 12 wines (6 white and 6 red) from the Loire Valley of France. Each wine was served to guests upon request along with a brief explanation of its properties and history. Nancy Thomas (co-owner) and Halle Heyman of Mezze, Inc. presented the wines along with a wonderful selection of small plates of delicious food. Cricket Creek Farm also provided a tasty selection of local cheeses to accompany the wines. A Silent Auction was also held with a dozen items donated by local residents and businesses, including Red Sox tickets, cases of wine, a homemade Italian dinner served by friends, beautiful wine glasses, a lacquered serving tray, and more. More than $7000 was raised between ticket sales and the silent auction. We are grateful for the wide community support and participation. All proceeds will go directly into building our next Habitat home for a deserving family in need of safe and decent housing.
