Pajama Time

Five winners accept $200 each toward home heating from branch managers Monique Mailloux of the Putnam office and Maria Thomas of the Thompson office, Branch Supervisor Lori Guimont of the Brooklyn office, and Assistant Branch Manager Leah Gaboury of the Thompson office of The Citizens National Bank. After a random drawing Robert DonFrancisco of Brooklyn, Debra Torres of Thompson, Robert LeBeau of Thompson, Marge LaFontaine of Thompson, and Blenda Salvas of Putnam were named the winners of the grand prizes provided by the bank as part of its recent “Pajama Time” promotion.  The promotion culminated with a Pajama party on Dec. 13.  “Pajama Time” is a promotion that the bank conducts each year in order to collect new pajamas for children that attend local schools.
