Successful critter campaign

    THE 15th YEAR of Katahdin Trust Co.’s “Cute, Cuddly Critter Campaign” was another huge success for both the bank and the American Red Cross (ARC).

    Prior to Valentine’s Day, the bank sold 1,250 stuffed animals for $10 each raising $12,550 for the local Red Cross chapter. The additional $50 was generated through customer donations. The money will help the agency provide emergency shelter, food, clothing, infant supplies, medical equipment, and recovery resources to those who experience a fire, flood or other disaster. A check presentation was held March 25 at Katahdin Trust Co.’s Presque Isle branch.
