December 28, 2004. Guest Speaker, Rotarian Win Brown, presented a fascinating view of NBHS's positioning as a premier medical facility
that shares its expertise in real time with other campuses within
its network. I can recall wearing a yellow hat during the hospital's
last build-out and serving hot coffee in one of the hospital's construction areas, never imagining then that time and space could be compressed such that our north Berkshire geography would no longer
separate us from centers east of Rte. 91. Thank you, Win, for your
enlightening presentation.

February 1 (forms have been e-mailed). The selection committee will meet the first
week of February to select this year's recipient, and -2. procuring auction items -
this year's auction proceeds will benefit RI's Alliance For Smiles, an offshoot of
