==================
This year’s MayFest, pays tribute to Ernie Schnesel who had been a longtime friend of Construct. Ernest Schnesel was a strong leader with a generous heart. He believed in hard work, clear thinking, frank talk, and the importance of balance in our community. He understood the need for affordable housing. As a result, Ernest and his wife, Anne, enthusiastically supported the work of Construct in the Berkshires where they have lived since 1983.
They were the lead underwriters for “Warm Up the Winter,” a benefit concert produced by Rabbi Deborah Zecher to help Construct make sure everyone in our community had heat for the winter. Ernest was key in honoring Jack and Priscilla Stern with Priscilla’s Room, a building at Construct where residents gather for counseling, life skills classes and community conversations. His kind, compassionate spirit of giving enriched countless lives and for that we at Construct, like so many, are deeply grateful.
Please join us in honoring Ernest with the “The House That Ernie Built,” a strategy for housing our community.
