Nutmeg Celebrates New Location with Giveaway to Duffy Elementary School

As a continued Grand Opening celebration for their newest West Hartford Branch, Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union has made a $5,000 donation to Duffy Elementary School. Each of the sixteen West Hartford public schools competed for votes for this giveaway. Duffy had an amazing turnout of support from parents, staff, and the local community.
 
“The town of West Hartford is such a strong, welcoming community. We felt so grateful for the support when we opened, that we wanted to give back in a way that influenced the most,” says John Holt, President and CEO of Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union.
 
The school was just as grateful for the support and monetary donation. “The PTO plans to work together with school staff to decide how this money will be spent. We’re excited to have the support from Nutmeg,” said Joy Russell, PTO President.
 
Voting began on Thursday, January 12 and ran through Thursday, February 16, 2017. Voting was open to the general public. Nutmeg presented the check to Kristi Laverty, Principal of Duffy Elementary, and Joy Russell, President of Duffy’s PTO. John Holt was in attendance, along with Sally Geigel, West Hartford Branch Manager, to present the check.
 
The West Hartford branch, located at 973 Farmington Avenue, is the first of its kind for the credit union with a primary focus on educating members on how to bank with technology and the ease of use for its online e-Services. All are welcome to learn more about the credit union through our helpful staff, or online at www.BankingAwesome.com.
