Thank you for your excitement and involvement in our “Name the MVSB Moose” contest! We received so many submissions that choosing a name wasn’t easy, but with input from our employees, we’re proud to introduce “Meri the Moose”!
The name Meri honors the history of MVSB, with our first branch opening in Meredith over 150 years ago. It honors our present with the meaning “sea” as we’ve grown to serve communities from the greater lakes region to the seacoast. And perhaps most importantly, it honors who we are – meaning “joyous,” Meri will share our commitment to caring for and spreading joy in our communities, which is always at the heart of everything we do.
The winning name was submitted first by Darlene H of Laconia – our $500 cash prize winner! The five other submitters of the name will also receive a special acknowledgement of $100: Susan C of Barnstead, Mary Jo T of Franklin, Praxeda Z of Laconia, Linda H of Gilford and Lisa T.
