Preserving a
Moment in Time
As part of an ongoing commemoration of Monson Bank’s 150th anniversary, employ- ees joined together to bury a time capsule that will be excavated and opened in 25 years at the bank’s 175th anniversary in 2047. Some of the items included were pho- tos, business cards, brochures, a piggy bank, letters, deposit slips, 150th-anniversary arti- cles, and, of course, Monson Savings brand- ed masks and hand sanitizer. Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank (pictured), led the crew to the time capsule burial location for a brief ceremony.
