ADAMS, Mass. – Susan LeBeau of Adams recently celebrated a milestone anniversary of 40 years of service with Adams Community Bank.

LeBeau has spent her entire career as a teller with both the former Adams Co-Operative Bank and its successor, Adams Community Bank.

LeBeau began her career on Jan. 10, 1975, and has worked in the Park Street branch in Adams ever since. Through the years she has volunteered for many of the Bank sponsored events such as Community Appreciation “Movie” Night, the Relay for Life, and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

“I have always loved what I do and I especially love working with my customers,” LeBeau said. “It’s great to work in an environment that is focused on community and fun. For instance, each month we dress casual for charity and during sports playoffs we’re encouraged to wear our favorite team jerseys. The bank has always supported me as well as our community, which is very important to me.”



"Myself and everyone at Val’s Package Store have always received the best of service from Sue," longtime customer Victor Lampiasi said. "She is a lot of fun and a great person.”

“It is a special honor for Adams Community Bank to celebrate Sue LeBeau’s 40 years of service,” said Charles O’Brien, president & CEO. “For Sue to achieve this major employment milestone makes this a great time to pause and celebrate her commitment to our customers and our bank.”

LeBeau will be honored at the Bank’s annual Service Award Celebration this spring.  She lives in Adams with her fiancé and has been a resident of Adams her entire life. She has two grown children.

Adams Review Library, COA and Education Budgets

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The Finance Committee and Board of Selectmen reviewed the public services, Hoosac Valley Regional School District and McCann Technical School budgets on Tuesday. 
 
The workshop at the Adams Free Library was the third of four joint sessions to review the proposed $19 million fiscal 2025 budget. The first workshop covered general government, executive, finance and technology budgets; the second public works, community development and the Greylock Glen. 
 
The Council on Aging and library budgets have increases for wages, equipment, postage and software. The Memorial Day budget is level-funded at $1,450 for flags and for additional expenses the American Legion might have; it had been used to hire bagpipers who are no longer available. 
 
The COA's budget is up 6.76 percent at $241,166. This covers three full-time positions including the director and five regular per diem van drivers and three backup drivers. Savoy also contracts with the town at a cost of $10,000 a year based on the number of residents using its services. 
 
Director Sarah Fontaine said the governor's budget has increased the amount of funding through the Executive Office of Elder Affairs from $12 to $14 per resident age 60 or older. 
 
"So for Adams, based on the 2020 Census data, says we have 2,442 people 60 and older in town," she said. "So that translates to $34,188 from the state to help manage Council on Aging programs and services."
 
The COA hired a part-time meal site coordinator using the state funds because it was getting difficult to manage the weekday lunches for several dozen attendees, said Fontaine. "And then as we need program supplies or to pay for certain services, we tap into this grant."
