Our very own Country Bank team members, Jason Mourao and Angelica Coelho, met up with Sergeant Jhon Wielblad from the Ludlow Police Department who presented Country Bank with a special recognition plaque. We are very honored to support Team Western Mass in their 2024 Police Unity Tour ride. They embarked on an incredible 300-mile bike journey all the way from New Jersey to Washington D.C.! The Police Unity Tour is an extraordinary initiative that aims to raise awareness and honor the courageous officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This year, they rode in memory of Officer John Dinapoli. #CommunityPartners #Backtheblue #MadeToMakeADifference
