Dennis has been working alongside the Bank’s President, Mark Candido, Executive Vice President Dick Barredo, and the Organizers and Directors.

We had always known that the local community would support our belief that a new bank active in the community and caring towards its customers is very much in demand.

We are confident that we will be able to raise the additional funds to reach our maximum goal, but it is very comforting to know that we have past the minimum and are over $11.0 Million, with one more Investor seminar scheduled for Tuesday February 13th at the Holiday Inn in North Haven.
