Challenge Accepted
After being challenged by Jewett City Savings Bank, The Citizens National Bank, headed by President and CEO David Conrad, accepted the challenge in a big way. Conrad, along with several bank employees and the bank’s mascot, Clicker, dumped buckets of ice water over their heads recently in the name of the charity. In addition to undertaking the challenge, the bank has donated $1,000 to MDA to help fight ALS. Courtesy photo.

WATERFORD — Charter Oak Federal Credit Union employees rallied together this past August and hosted another successful Back-to-School Supply Drive. “Charter Oak’s contribution of nearly 1,400 school supply items, when combined with supplies from area businesses and individuals, led to the distribution of more than 5,600 school supplies in over 20 local school systems in early September,” said Sarah Dudley McDermott, United Way of Southeastern Connecticut’s Campaign Specialist. “This ensures that students went back to school with the material supplies needed for academic success.”
Employees collected and donated 200 USB flash drives, backpacks, binders, notebooks and an assortment of other necessary back-to-school items. Charter Oak’s employees regularly reinforce Charter Oak’s commitment to the community through its Community Outreach Program.
The Community Outreach Program is an employee-driven initiative. Each Friday, Charter Oak employees pay a fee to dress casually to show their support, which benefits individuals, families, and community groups in need of emergency funding. For info or to make a donation, visit uwsect.org.
