AMC currently intends to open most properties and programs on July 1, with exceptions noted on this page.
In 2020, the Berkshire Chapter Executive Committee will meet on the first Monday (even numbered months) or the second Monday (odd numbered months) of each month starting at 6:30PM, and ending by 8:00PM.
