Co-ops are the Perfect Blend
Each October, we highlight the benefits of cooperative membership. This year we're thinking about the warm, inviting nature of co-ops, just like a good cup of coffee. Our shared values, our principles, our commitment and our members all make SMPA the perfect blend.
Member Appreciation Days 2026
Here at SMPA, we celebrate National Co-op Month by showing appreciation for our members. So... during the first week of October, the coffee's on us! We'd like to see you at your neighborhood coffee spot, discuss power-related topics, and buy you a cuppa! Come back to this page to see a list of participating cafes and meeting times.
