DALTON, MA — All young professionals living and/or working in Berkshire County are invited to attend the Berkshire Young Professionals Networking Social @ Kelly's Package Store located at 653 Main Street in Dalton on Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. The cost to attend is $5, unless you are a BYP membership cardholder or participate in BYP's Clothing Drive for Suit Yourself, in which case you may be admitted FREE.

Tour the recently expanded and remodeled Kelly's Package Store and enjoy samples from Kelly's new Gourmet Market at Berkshire Young Professionals' upcoming networking social. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and tastings will be provided, and Kelly’s will also be setting up some putting greens, with help from Wahconah Country Club, so that BYP can get some practice putts in before the golf season begins. Attendees are encouraged to bring business cards for networking and to be entered into the door prize.

This will also be the site for BYP's professional clothing drive to benefit Suit YourSelf. Attendees are encouraged to clean out their closets and bring their gently used professional clothing to the event to help out other professionals in need. Kelly's will also be accepting donations in the days preceding the event. Items desired include: men's suits: Size 42, 44, 46, 48, 50; men's dress shoes: black or brown; women's skirt suits & pant suits; women's blouses (short or long sleeves only); women's dress shoes (in style, heels in excellent condition); and handbags (in style, in great condition).
