Dear BerkShares Businesses,

The Sunday, April 26th NBC Nightly News featured BerkShares businesses. It
included great shots of Great Barrington’s Main Street and Railroad Street
and was seen by millions. You can view the show at:

Today BerkShares own Sarah Hearn made her live TV debut. She was being
interviewed about BerkShares. The CNBC studios were at the New York Stock
Exchange, the heart of financial markets. You can watch how Sarah changed
discussion from a chain store to locally owned, independent businesses.

Congratulations to Sarah and to all the participating businesses that are
making the Berkshires own local currency a national story about citizens
solving problems in their own communities.

Best wishes,

The BerkShares Team
