| Naugatuck, CT -
February 12, 2010 - The Naugatuck Savings Bank Foundation announced the winners of its Community Awards Program last night at a special ceremony honoring the recipients with a total of $50,000 in awards. Naugatuck Savings Bank customers voted throughout the fall for a local charity of their choice to receive a grant from the Naugatuck Savings Bank Foundation.
"The Naugatuck Savings Bank Foundation has awarded grants since 1998 to non-profit organizations" stated Mark C. Yanarella, President and CEO of Naugatuck Savings Bank. "Asking our customers to help determine where we distribute a portion of 2010's grants seemed to fit in perfectly with our philosophy of building lifetime relationships with our customers. This collaboration is a wonderful partnership between our customers, the Foundation and the organizations that our customers feel will improve the lives of those in our communities. We are pleased that so many of our customers took the time to vote for the charity they feel is most deserving of this special allocation of grant money."
