SOUTH HADLEY – A community group advocating that Mount Holyoke College keep the Gorse Children’s Center open permanently are planning another rally in support of the effort Friday beginning at 5 p.m., where they plan to march from the children’s center to the main campus gate on Route 116. Meanwhile, the college formed a working group to study child care options that began meeting this week.
Gorse Action Group, a coalition of several hundred parents, college students, faculty and staff, formed quickly on Feb. 27, then holding their first rally when the college, at the time, said the Gorse would permanently close in June. The closure plan was quickly shelved following protests - and the matter is now being reviewed.
