We pursue service to the community in the same spirit we pursue service to our customers: we want to be the best. And money plays a relatively small part. Most of the contributions you'll see here come from donations of time and effort.

One of our favorite activities is to gather 20 or 30 kids together for a meal and a special event. It may be a professional hockey game by the Manchester Monarchs, a Southern New Hampshire University basketball game or a simple trip to the bowling lanes. A big hit in 2002 was a trip to Portsmouth to see Avner the Eccentric, whose show defies description and straight faces with equal ease.
