A WORD FROM BILL MARSHALL, PRESIDENT OF NORTH MIDDLESEX SAVINGS BANK

North Middlesex Savings Bank is proud to be in its seventh year as the premier sponsor of the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce and has recently renewed its commitment for 2006-2007.

The communities that are represented by the Chamber are a mirror image of the Bank's primary marketplace and we share the similar mission of promoting business and improving the quality of life in the Nashoba Valley Region.

North Middlesex Savings Bank views its sponsorship with the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce as a partnership. The Chamber assists its members in providing information, education and business opportunities through its programs and the corporate sponsors are provided extensive community exposure in all printed material, advertising, banners and acknowledgments at each event. The success of the Chamber provides business opportunities for corporate sponsors to receive far more benefits for their own business as a recognized corporate leader to an increasing diverse and successful Chamber membership.

As President and CEO of North Middlesex Savings Bank, the leading financial services provider in the Nashoba Valley Region, I can say without qualification that a corporate sponsorship of the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce has been an integral part of the Bank's success and will be for the future.
