Your Vote Counted!
 Thank you!
Wells Public Library thanks Kennebunk Savings and its customers

 

The Wells Public Library has received a donation of $776 as a result of the Community Investment Ballot, representing the voice of their Kennebunk Savings, Morris Insurance and Kennebunk Financial Services customers.  Each year customers vote for the non-profit organization of their choice and the number of votes received results in the amount provided to each organization.  This year almost 10,000 votes were tallied for 200 different agencies. 

 

Previous Kennebunk Savings Community Investment Ballot funds have been used to purchase technology hardware and software, an indoor/outdoor sign to publicize our programs, and an additional shelf unit to house our expanding audio-visual collection.

 

All of us at Wells Public Library are very grateful to those members of the community who chose to support our library through their votes, and to Kennebunk Savings for making this program possible!
