New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp (NHMB) is excited to announce the winners of its first annual photo contest. Selected photos will be featured in community calendars for Merrimack County Savings Bank (the Merrimack), Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) and MillRiver Wealth Management (MillRiver), as well as on the websites for the Merrimack and MVSB. Photos are likely to be featured when new websites launch for MillRiver and NHMB in early 2017. Winning photos will also be featured in desk calendars, holiday cards and note cards. Community calendars for each company – MVSB, the Merrimack and MillRiver – will be created and distributed at their local branch offices beginning in October of this year.
“We’ve had a wonderful response for this contest,” noted Debbie Irwin, Assistant Vice President and Marketing Programs Officer at New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp. “The photos we’ve seen were amazing in that they capture the unique character of New Hampshire. The calendar contest is a great way to celebrate the communities we serve and allows us to highlight exceptional talent from local artists. We were able to build on a decades-long tradition at MVSB and expand it successfully to the other subsidiaries in such a way as to truly celebrate the beauty of NH as well as our local artists.”

New Hampshire Mutual Bancorp, a mutual holding company, was formed in 2013 when two New Hampshire-based community banks, Meredith Village Savings Bank and Merrimack County Savings Bank, formally affiliated – the first relationship of its kind in New Hampshire. This strategic partnership has positioned the Banks to leverage each other’s strengths as they work together to advance a shared vision of maintaining and enhancing their community banking standards and values. MillRiver Wealth Management joined as a third subsidiary of NHMB in 2015, combining the financial advisory divisions of MVSB and The Merrimack. NHMB combined assets total nearly $1.6 billion.

Calendars will be made available this October.
