Last Minute Local

December 22, 2009

Dear BerkShares Businesses,

To date, the most impactful way for businesses to support the BerkShares
program is to recirculate BerkShares whenever possible. As part of your
last minute holiday shopping, why not take a stroll on Main Street to buy
gifts for your loved ones and demonstrate our community's capacity for
mutual support. There are still plenty of opportunities for last minute
local gift purchases, and we've included some suggestions below for gift
card, subscription and ticket sales.

Next week, we'd like to help the BerkShares business community recirculate
BerkShares by promoting any end of the year specials you might be
advertising. Please send a one-line description of your sales or specials
information with "Sale Info" in the subject line, and we'll craft and share
the offerings with your fellow BerkShares business members.

Happy Holidays,

The BerkShares Team
P O BOX 125
