"Green-Rainbow Party Growing Legs Through Volunteerism,Diversity,"by Nichole Dupont, iBerkshires Staff; 10:24AM / Thursday, January 13, 2011

LENOX, Mass. — Some two dozen people, many of them new recruits, gathered at the library on Tuesday night for the monthly meeting of the new Berkshire chapter of the Green-Rainbow Party.

"There are a lot of people who are seriously looking at this party,” said Lee Scott Laugenour of Lenox, who ran as the party's candidate for 4th District state representative in the last election. "We're a growing party and we’re getting new membership all of the time. We’ve had three new recruits since last month’s meeting.[We have grown by much more than three since the last meeting. Three was the number of new members who registered in the Green-Rainbow Party when they came to Tuesday's meeting--Scott]. It’s great to see so many people coming two months in a row. Now we need to focus on youth and diversity in the party.”
