LSB Sets New Giving Record

The employees of Laconia Savings Bank spoke loud and clear when it came to support of the United Ways in New Hampshire. With an unmatched commitment, focus and enthusiasm, the employees raised just over $42,500 increasing their employee total by over 12.5% compared to last year's performance. Employee Cindy Bodah volunteered to be the campaign chair for the bank, and through creativity and hard work, delivered a record level of funding and employee participation.

In addition to the employee funds, the bank will also donate $53,000 to the Lakes Region United Way. These funds will be used to bolster LSB employees' donations, so that each donor will have more than double the impact of their gift. The $96,000 campaign sets a new high for Laconia Savings Bank.

In the 178 years of doing business in the Lakes Region and New Hampshire, Laconia Savings Bank has always demonstrated superb leadership in community support, and has been associated with the Lakes Region United Way since that organization's inception.

According to Mark Primeau, President and CEO of the bank, the bank's commitment to community is a "part of who we are as an organization, and we are pleased to be in a position to support the Lakes Region United Way to the level we do. Their work in the community is critical to the overall well-being of the community."
