Last week our Middlefield Bank Central Ohio Team attended the Need Knows No Season fundraiser hosted by the The Salvation Army in Central Ohio. This impactful event was their largest campaign of the year dedicated to securing critical funds and raising awareness about vital support for our neighbors facing poverty. They were also excited to meet former NFL star and champion quarterback, Cardale Jones who was the guest speaker at the event. Together, let’s continue to support the amazing work of The Salvation Army and ensure that help is available year-round for those in need. Great job team!

On Saturday, MB was a main sponsor for the United Way of Hardin County Bourbon Disco Ball. Shelby Reth, with her friend Danielle Legge, Heather Altstaetter, and her husband Dean, represented the bank in their "groovy" 70s attire! Dean Altstaetter was in the band playing a fun variety of disco and popular "funky" 70s tunes for people to "boogie down". There were raffle baskets, a Bourbon live auction, and many "far out" games throughout the night. It was a great evening raising money for United Way as they kick off their fundraising season! "Can you dig it!" ✌️

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the perfect time to test your knowledge against possible scams. Scammers are working overtime to separate our customers, friends, and family from their hard-earned cash. As a community bank, MB wants to make sure you’re prepared against the latest financial scams. Imagine this: The ice cream man "needs" your bank password to run your card. Sounds absurd, right? If it seems off in real life, it's just as weird over a phone call, text, or email. #BanksNeverAskThat. Learn how to give scammers the cold shoulder: https://brev.is/0oKpz

Last week the Orwell Branch did a team building tie-dye event. Tiffany from Country Neighbor in Orwell came to the branch with all the supplies, and everyone got to make a shirt. Today they celebrated "Tie-Dye Friday" to show off their shirts! Great job Orwell Team!

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the perfect time to test your knowledge against possible scams. Scammers are working overtime to separate our customers, friends, and family from their hard-earned cash. As a community bank, MB wants to make sure you’re prepared against the latest financial scams. Imagine this at checkout: “Save $10 on groceries — just verify your SSN!” Sounds absurd, right? Just as you wouldn’t share your SSN for a discount in person, it’s equally risky over a phone call, text or email. #BanksNeverAskThat. Think you can spot a scam? Prove it!
