PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield Co-operative Bank has hired Felicia Sayers as assistant branch manager of its South Street location. 
 
Sayers brings with her a strong track record of supervising staff, overseeing branch operations, and mentoring team members, all while maintaining her own portfolio of responsibilities — from opening complex account types and processing loan applications, to ensuring daily compliance and vault cash management. She is certified in an extensive range of financial platforms and is a licensed notary public and Nationwide Multistate Licensing System holder.
 
She most recently was an asset quality collector at Greylock Federal Credit Union, where she facilitated a variety of teller, member service, and collection-related tasks for its members in compliance with established policies, strategies and procedures. Prior to that, Sayers held key roles at TD Bank, where she supervised teller teams, managed vault operations, and trained new hires across Berkshire County. She has consistently been recognized for customer satisfaction and sales performance, winning multiple awards for the highest amount of sales and referrals.
 
"Felicia's extensive knowledge of banking and dedication to helping the community makes her a great asset to the Co-op Bank team," said Reinaldo Roman, vice president and branch manager. "We are excited to have her be a part of our South Street team."
 
Beyond her professional achievements, Sayers has generously volunteered for more than 10 years with organizations such as Labor Lenten of Love building care packages for the homeless in Berkshire County, as well as Berkshire Dream Center clothing drives and holiday wrapping events. When she's not busy managing branch operations and helping members, you can find Sayers volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity's Women's Build and with Thanksgiving Angels fundraising, as well as numerous community events including annual parades in North and Central County.

Pittsfield Council Says 'Yes' to Soccer at Crane Park

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

The pitch will have the logos of the city and the US. and Massachusetts soccer associations. 

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city is gladly accepting a "mini-pitch" from the U.S. Soccer Foundation to bring games back to Crane Park. 

Fueling excitement around the World Cup, U.S. Soccer has been working with the Massachusetts Youth Soccer League to make these facilities available to 20 communities — one of which will be at the park at the intersection of Benedict Road and Springside Avenue. 

The City Council accepted the gift on Tuesday during its regular meeting. 

A mini pitch is a compact, modular field typically used for soccer, and it can also accommodate inline skates. It has a galvanized steel border with built-in goals and a rubber plastic surface that is clicked together; installed on the existing inline hockey court. 

Ward 2 Councilor Cameron Cunningham said he has gone door to door speaking with nearby residents, and they are "really excited" about the upgrade. He also sees it as a great addition. 

"They say that nobody really uses the court a ton now, and they are excited to see kids back on there playing," he said. 

Decades ago, the Crane Park facility was a wading pool. It closed in 1980, and before the turn of the century, it was filled in and marked for hockey. 

Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Manager James McGrath explained that the wooden border around the rink is showing its age, has been vandalized and tagged, and the facility is seeing a "real decline" in use. 

"This would seem to be an appropriate spot for us to remove the board system that's in place and install the mini pitch system through this grant," he said.
