SHOPPER’S GUIDE ISSUE OF DECEMBER 8, 2021 • FIRST SECTION

Dear Friends and Family, A lot happened to Berkshire Money Management in 2021. A lot has happened to o all of us.

As a nation, we’ve begun to return to restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters. I’ve seen hugs chosen over fist bumps. The pandemic is not entirely behind us – it’s affectingg psyches and small businesses. We’ll see those scars for a while. oking the lawn and a waving American In the summer, BMM re-opened its doors (well, we opened our big ol’ porch overlooking ow that it’s chillier, we purchased air filters to place flag) to clients who, like the rest of us, became weary of constant video meetings. Now ting in hardware were minor adaptations relative inside the offices. Video chats, lemonade-and-rocking chair meetings, and investing to much of the rest of the world, and we’re grateful for that. cided that she would retire at the end of 2021. She tried to The biggest news for the BMM family is that our office mom, Joanne Wandrei, decided retire last year, and we begged her to stay on at least part-time, and she obliged. But she knows that it’s time to push her baby birds out of the nest to fend for ourselves. Including a previous firm, Joanne, Stacey Carver, and I have known each other since the late 1990s. I am going to miss her terribly. We all will.

Speaking of Stacey, she’s back! Stacey and I founded BMM together twenty years ago. (Yup, we made it to two decades in 2021. We celebrated it with a questionable mix of tequila and ax throwing). About a decade ago, Stacey went from running BMM to full-time hero - rescuing animals, feeding the hungry, standing up for the rights of the disenfranchised. So, when Stacey says she wants a seat at the table again, you make that happen.

Stacey got the fire in her belly as she took on the project of opening our Great Barrington, MA office at 322 Main Street. It was a bigger project than we anticipated, so, fortunately, Jamie Smith was instrumental in getting this job done. And thankfully, we have Holly Simeone to run the GB office.

In 2021, we welcomed more people to the BMM family. We brought on Acelynn Fulton, Holly Simeone, Jared Reinstein, Nadia Dubowyj, and Chelsea Smith. We brought in more people because BMM is growing.

Parents should find BMM’s College Planning valuable. BMM College Planning, headed by Lauren Russo, has the potential to save parents, and their kids, tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of dollars. And then we’re helping people reduce their taxes, file for Medicare, maximize Social Security payments, and make sure people don’t run out of money in retirement.

As BMM grows, we have also promoted from within. Natalie Wheeler is now our Chief Operating Officer, and Zack Marcotte is the Director of Financial Planning. Natalie told me that “COO” would look better on her resume. Yeah, she’s a wisenheimer. Zack was more gracious with the promotion, LOL! We were fortunate enough to find these professionals amidst a labor shortage which speaks volumes about our culture – people want to work at BMM. The national narrative isn’t solely the labor shortage but also inflation. In response to a massive Consumer Price Index (CPI; a measure of inflation) print of 5.4%, I gave everyone a 5.4% plus-up bonus in August 2021. I don’t want my people punished for things out of their control. One thing that was in their power, indirectly, was that BMM again won the Best of the Berkshires – Wealth Management award (BoB). So, I gave everyone $5,000 as a “thank you” for their work with clients. And, for fun, when Bitcoin plummeted nearly in half this summer, I gave everyone a grand to buy their preferred cryptocurrency. There has already been chatter about what type of yachts we’re all going to buy.

BMM donated $25,000 to the Thanksgiving Angels to feed local families during the holiday. We presented the same amount to help our local firefighters gather and celebrate two hard years at the Firefighter’s Combat Challenge. BMM tried to host an annual fundraiser for the Berkshire Coalition for Suicide Prevention, but abutting neighbors persuaded the Town of Dalton to deny a permit. In response, BMM doth expected revenue without incurring any of the expenses. Suicide is a very serious issue and, nated $20,002 to provide the BCSP with all the I admit, I lost a little faith in humanity on that one. But we tried to continue doing good, donating about $12,000 to the Berkshire CommuW pledged $50,000 to the Berkshire Humane Society. We donated $10,000 to the Berkshire nity Diaper Project. We #HereF volunteer month (events for kids, trail cleanup, meal deliveries, etc.). Right at the end United Way’s #HereForGood $7 of 2020, we spent $7,500 to acquire more than 100 new coats and pairs of gloves and boots from local small busiW nesses for the Elf Warm Clothing Program for kids. In 2021, the team at BMM went at it again and repeated those ga $5,000 each to the New England Basset Hound Rescue and Construct, Inc. efforts. And we gave mor for Construct, Inc., which helps with affordable housing, rental assistance, fuel and utility bills, I hope to do more and other housin housing-related costs. I was honored this year to be voted onto the board of the Community Development S Corporation of South Berkshire, which also helps with affordable housing and business assistance. tha BMM is a hospitality company that just so happens to manage money well. But it’s not all about I once said that mone - not for our clients and not for us. Parents want their children to get the best possible the money educati Doctors want to know how to run their clinics. Thirty-somethings wish to balance their education. crypto cryptocurrency holdings with something more reliable. Retirees want to pay less in health care costs Business owners want to move more product and pay fewer taxes. Nurses want to navigate costs. unfa unfamiliar choices. Grandparents want a family meeting to secure their legacy. And BMM prioritizes peo over profits. people Ou workers, our clients, and our community come before our profit margin. Our actions match Our ou words. I give a bunch of those profits to the people who work at BMM. And then we give it to our the people who need it most. That is our 2021 story. I hope your story was a great one, too.

Happy ppy Holidays! y Allen Harris CEO

She’s a beautiful grey 14-year-old domestic longhair/ Manx mix, which means her fur is long, but her tail is short. Purci came to Berkshire Humane Society because her owner passed away, so she could really use a nice home this holiday season.
