Businesses grateful for support during reopening

In a letter to the editor, Robin Helfland writes, "Not only was the package a genuine help, it was a meaningful gesture of support for local businesses as together we face the challenge of this pandemic."

To our community partners at Fairview Hospital, Southern Berkshire Chamber of Commerce, Richard and the Rotarians, and Jane Iredale,

This week we received a thoughtful and practical package of single-use and cloth masks from Mexico, Jane Iredale sanitizer, Fairview first aid kit, and other useful items to help keep our customers and staff safe as we reopen.

Thank you! Not only was the package a genuine help, it was a meaningful gesture of support for local businesses as together we face the challenge of this pandemic.

Now that we are again open for public entry, “Team Robin” looks forward to welcoming you and your families back into your local candy shop for a little something sweet!

Thanks again. Be well and healthy,
