Events
One of the best things about being a community bank is hosting and being part of what’s happening in the neighborhoods we serve. We routinely host events throughout Hampshire and Franklin county.

Additionally, the Co-op will be making a monetary contribution of $25 to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts for every new checking account that is opened and funded online or in person at the Co-op during Hunger Action Month.
Each branch will also be taking action to raise awareness about food insecurity by creating sculptures from donated food items, giving employees an opportunity to use creative teamwork to help spread the message.

MSBDC Workshop – Know Your Numbers: AI as Your Financial Thinking Partner
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Do you know what your numbers are really telling you? Most small business owners are so busy running their business that they rarely stop to read the financial story it’s telling — the strengths, the warning signs, and the decisions hiding in plain sight.
In this hands-on workshop, Rob DelMastro, Director with the Massachusetts SBDC, will show you how to use AI as your personal financial thinking partner — no accountant required, no spreadsheets to prepare, and no financial background needed.
You will work through real financial scenarios using a fictional company similar to your own, learning how to ask AI the right questions to uncover insights that most business owners never see until it’s too late.
And the best part? Everything you learn in the workshop goes home with you. After the event, you can take the same prompts we use in class and apply them to your own real numbers — in the privacy of your own office, at your own pace, with complete confidence.
Space is limited to 10 attendees, so register early to secure your spot.
