Welcome to Construct, Inc. a non-profit organization based in Great Barrington, MA, committed to providing housing for those in need.
MayFest 08 was an event to remember! It was fun. It was a great fundraising success. The community came out strongly with their support. The chefs out did themselves with delicious hors d'oeuvres, soups, main dishes, and desserts. A variety of wines complimented all the wonderful tastings.
The volunteers worked so hard, from setting up all the displays, to creating beautiful flower arrangements, and taking turns staffing all the vignettes.
The venue was different from previous years which proved to be both very interesting and profitable.
Construct would like to thank all the wonderful, generous individuals and businesses that participated in this year's MayFest.Too many people to mention individually, but please know that the event would not have been such a great success without all your help and support. We are very grateful to the people in the community that joined us to make a difference in our neighbors lives who are struggling to make ends meet.
A special thank you goes out to the South County Council of the Berkshire Board of Realtors our Grand Sponsor, and to Elaine SIlberstein and Susie Weekes, co-chairs of the event.
