Berkshire Bank Opens New Community Room

04:09PM / Monday, February 09, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Berkshire Bank today announced the grand opening of a new Community Room at its Colonie, NY branch. The large multi-purpose space is available for group and community functions, and features videoconferencing and teleconferencing capabilities, a whiteboard, large plasma TV screen with surround sound and an Xbox™.

The Community Room will officially open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour on Friday, February 13, 2009. New York State Assemblyman Bob Reilly, Colonie Town Supervisor Paula Mahan and Colonie Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tom Nolte will join Sean Gray, senior vice president of retail banking for Berkshire Bank, in dedicating the room.

“The Community Room will provide local residents, nonprofit and community groups with a state-of-the-art meeting space in a convenient location. It’s available for everyone to use, and we hope the community will utilize and enjoy it,” said Michael P. Daly, president and CEO of Berkshire Bank. “As a community-focused bank, we pride ourselves on anticipating and responding to the needs of our clients and communities.”

On Saturday, February 14, 2009, Berkshire Bank employees and Colonie residents will convene in the Community Room to assemble care packages for local soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Care packages will include personal hygiene items, food and candy, batteries and pre-paid phone cards, which were generously donated to New York Berkshire Bank branches by bank staff and local residents.

Berkshire Bank will also make a $500 donation to the Capital Region Chapter of Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., a nonprofit organization for women whose children are serving, or honorably served, in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Berkshire Bank customers can rent the room with no deposit, and non-customers are charged a refundable $100 deposit. For more information about reserving the room, please contact: Amy Conway, Colonie branch manager, at (518) 724-3924.
