Dear Friends,
It’s summertime in the Berkshires, which means children are out of school
and our vibrant local economy is bustling! With this summer sales boom comes
an influx of BerkShares in your registers. Fortunately, there are many local
businesses providing children-friendly goods and services that will gladly
accept your accumulated BerkShares. When you bring the children in your life
to the businesses listed below and use BerkShares, you will put a smile on
their faces while also supporting a strong interdependent local economy.
And you will find many more ideas for re-circulating your BerkShares at:
