More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

BBPW Reaches Out to Area Working Women - January 25, 2008
Berkshire Business and Professional Women, an organization dedicated to providing equality for women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information, has announced a new initiative to make membership available to more women in Berkshire County. The Professional Growth Sponsorship Program will provide financial assistance toward dues and meeting fees for qualified working women who will benefit from the networking and educational opportunities associated with membership in the local chapter.
Candidates should be women who are seeking to improve their career situation, or who are making a career change, and may not have the additional resources to cover membership fees at this time. Successful applicants will be assigned a mentor in the program, and will be an active participant in one or more committees in the local chapter.
The Professional Growth Sponsorship Program is being generously underwritten by several local businesses, including Greylock Federal Credit Union and Legacy Banks. For more information on the PGSP initiative, please contact the local chapter of BBPW in writing at P.O. Box 3152, Pittsfield, MA, 01202 or by email to chapter president Kim Baker (Kim@TooleInsurance.com). |
