Berkshire CenterPoint: 2025 in Review & A Look Ahead
As we step into this new season together, we are grateful for the connections that continue to shape and strengthen our community. Each gathering, conversation, and shared moment reminds us that hope is something we build—together. We’re excited to share a few recent highlights and what’s unfolding in the months ahead.
A Year to Remember
This past year was a whirlwind of memorable activities and joyful moments. We saw our community come alive with energy and engagement. From lively outdoor concerts to quiet afternoons spent in the garden, the season was a testament to what we can create together.
A particular highlight for many was the collective energy from all and the events created a truly special atmosphere.
One especially meaningful moment of service rendered was the Otis Food Pantry fundraiser, graciously hosted at the beautiful home of Ted and Lesley Rosenthal. Together, through generosity and shared purpose, the evening raised significant support for the Otis Food Pantry—directly helping neighbors in need. Your kindness and participation continue to strengthen the fabric of our community, and for that, we are deeply grateful. 🙏
This event was truly unforgettable, as attendees were treated to an intimate and captivating performance by the hosts themselves, creating an atmosphere of artistry and connection. We also had the pleasure of meeting Peter Charlap at Gallerie 271 in Monterey. His presence and the inspiring works exhibited at the gallery added a rich layer of cultural engagement to the season.
Springing into a Summer of Hope!
We are delighted to announce that the new sanctuary at TableRock is scheduled to open this coming Spring, and we’ll host many events over the summer!
This beautiful new space will serve as a cornerstone for our community, offering a place for reflection, gathering, and celebration. We cannot wait to welcome you into this new chapter for Berkshire CenterPoint.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Community
None of this would be possible without you. We extend our deepest gratitude to every person who has contributed to getting CenterPoint off the ground and making it the special place it is today.
Thank you to the musicians who filled our spaces with song, the authors who shared their stories through book readings, and the artists who colored our world with their creations. A special thanks to the local specialty shops that shared their unique products, the dancers who brought movement and grace, and the dedicated gardeners who cultivated our beautiful green spaces.
Every contribution, big and small, has been invaluable—right down to the memorable photo of the guy and his dog that captured the simple, joyful spirit of our community.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. We wish you a peaceful and happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the new year. Be sure to check back soon—new membership details will be announced this year!
