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™.

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.
