Northwest Savings Bank offices throughout the region are gearing up for Community Banking Month with special events and activities planned each Friday from April 4 to 25.

“This year, we’re excited that Community Banking Week has been extended to take place over an entire month,” said Christy Graham, manager of the West Washington Street office. “We’re going to take this opportunity to thank our customers and community for continued support.

“We’re proud to call Bradford home,” Graham said. “We want to do everything we can to showcase some of the great things our area has to offer.”

Throughout the month, visitors to Northwest banks can enter a drawing for promotional items from the company. The drawing is open to the public and there is no obligation to enter.

Graham noted that in addition to the drawing, there will be weekly events each Friday.

“This is one of the ways our banks thanks our community that the people who make it up,” she said.
