Excerpt from The Recorder – Serving the people of Franklin County and the North Quabbin Region
Greenfield, Massachusetts – September 7, 2010

A check for $250 from Walmart was received by Cliff Fournier, coordinator of the Orange meal-site of the Franklin County Community Meals program. It was presented by store manager Ty Hapworth and Santa Lajole.

Robert Shufelt, Walmart employee, has volunteered 25 hours at the meal-site through the Volunteerism Always Pays program.

The irony behind this little blurb lies in the fact the the FCCMP’s executive director Amy Clarke is vehemently fighting a Walmart in Greenfield, Massachusetts. As of lately, she seems to be the spokesperson for a “Sustainable Greenfield,” an “organization” that provides “information to the residents of Greenfield about the benefits of a sustainable approach to economic development.”

I, personally, find Mrs. Clarke’s activities being counterproductive to her task as Executive Director of the Franklin County Community Meal Program – see my post The CAVE People of Greenfield, Massachusetts and the Walmart Issue. Consequently, I had submitted my resignation from the board of directors – see my post My Resignation from the Franklin County Community Meals Program (FCCMP).
