AEN Spotlights-- Holly Vacchina & Tim VanAlstyne

     Holly Vacchina has been working as a document operations clerk at Greylock Federal Credit Union since November 2001. She works Monday through Thursday. Her duties include filing checks, sorting mail and preparing mailouts. Prior to joining the Greylock Federal Credit Union team, Holly had worked at Berkshire Center for Families and Children for three years as a receptionist. While still in school, Holly did an internship at Greylock Federal Credit Union so many of her present co-workers remember her from that time. Her co-workers have stated that Holly's maturity, professionalism and pleasing personality have been a wonderful addition to the Greylock Federal Credit Union team. This made Holly an easy choice as the AEN Spotlight Individual.

     Tim is well-mannered, courteous, humorous and enthusiastic young man. His employer reports that Tim continues to be a hard worker and a valuable asset to the custodial crew.
     Bernie says, "Keep up the great work and thank you for being my friend."


     Bernie LaForest is also proud to announce that
Tim VanAlstyne is another deserving AEN Spotlight individual. He has worked at Legacy Bank since September of 1996. His duties consist of emptying trash and recyclables, cleaning windows and wiping down the countertops.
