100 and Counting

August 7, 2009

Dear BerkShares Businesses,

With two weeks until the BerkShares Auction, we’re happy to report that
we’ve received over one hundred auction item donations, which run the gamut
from the unique and exclusive to the perfectly practical. Will you treat
yourself to a massage, acupuncture, or a spa day? Perhaps skiing with Bill
McKibben or lunch with Rep. Smitty Pignatelli? Bid to win pick-your-own
apples, blueberries, flowers and more!

The auction will also feature long-term supplies of local milk, lettuce and
other basics as well as an array of services from landscaping to auto care,
and tours and treats of all kinds.

We hope you can join us at the BerkShares Auction on Saturday, August 22nd
7-9:30pm at Crissey Farm in Great Barrington. Invite your friends! Advance
tickets can now be purchased via our website at:

The BerkShares Team
