Charles River Bank President and CEO Jack Hamilton recently donated $825 to the Bellingham Public Library in the form of a check presented to Library Director Bernadette Rivard. The donation was a result of one of Charles River Bank’s 100th Anniversary Celebration programs, whereby the bank hung 100 wind chimes throughout the towns where its branches are located—Medway, Bellingham, and Mendon.

The wind chimes were a free 100th Anniversary commemorative gift for each person who found one. The “finders” were asked to post a picture and list the location of where their 100th Anniversary wind chime was located and submit the information via CRB’s Facebook page or by e-mail. A donation of $25 per wind chime was made to each town’s library. In Bellingham, 33 wind chimes were placed both inside local businesses and outside in public areas.

Charles River Bank is pleased to support the valuable programs offered through the Bellingham Public Library (www.bellinghamlibrary.org) in this special Centennial Celebration community program.

Charles River Bank, with assets of $225 million, was founded in 1915, and continues to offer a wide range of individual and business banking services. The Bank's Main Office is located at 70 Main Street in Medway, and new state-of-the-art branches are located on the Bellingham/Franklin town line on Route 140 and in Mendon at 1 Hastings Street, at the intersection of Rte. 16 and North Avenue. Charles River Bank also operates a branch in Medway High School that serves as an educational facility and full-service branch. In 2015, Charles River Bank (www.CharlesRiverBank.com) contributed more than $40,000 to community non-profit organizations.
