MADISON, Wis.— Summit Credit Union’s twelfth Co-op Connection will take place on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, next to the Dane County Farmers’ Market on Saturday, Oct. 7 between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Many Wisconsin cooperatives will take part in the event to celebrate the movement.

“We are honored to host the Co-op Connection event again this year,” said Summit Credit Union CEO & President Kim Sponem. “Our cooperative structure is what sets credit unions apart and this event is a great way to collaborate and show our community what Wisconsin cooperatives have to offer.”

Co-op Connection is hosted by Summit Credit Union and sponsored by the Willy Street Co‐op, The Wisconsin Credit Union League, UW Center for Cooperatives and Wisconsin Farmers Union. It offers a variety of family-fun activities and prize drawings from participating co-ops. There will be representatives from a variety of sectors joining us this year, including grocery, farming, housing, interpreter and co-op education organizations.

This event promotes cooperative principle number six: cooperation among co-ops. It also allows the public to discover and learn about cooperatives in their community, our common , and the benefits of co-op membership. It also provides an opportunity for the co-ops to develop strong and lasting relationships with one another.
