Greetings!

As leaves continue to change color around town and the air becomes crisp, I am reminded of all the things I enjoy about fall.

Loan Officer Kurt Maynard, Judy and Everett Dimock of North Star Orchards, and CEO John Witherspoon picking apples.

 

One of my favorite things to do in October is pick apples. I had the privilege of visiting our business customers Judy and Everett Dimock, owners of North Star Orchards in Madison, a few weeks ago, which we have featured as October's Business of the Month. I enjoyed picking apples, and had a great time during our photo shoot with them. (The apples were delicious and it's the perfect time to do some picking!)

 

The Dimocks will be featured in our new series of business ads, along with our other loyal business customers from Hi-Tech Software, Natanis Golf Course, Winslow Pharmacy and Steve's Appliance. Look for these new ads in local publications and a big thank you to everyone involved. If you would like to be featured as a Business of the Month, please send us a photo.

Save Time & Money by Making Your Home Energy Efficient
Written by: Meghan Loubier, Belgrade Branch Manager 

 

Meghan LoubierFall is a wonderful time to take inventory of your household "to do" list. Whether it is roof work, insulating, painting, major renovations, or upgrading windows and doors, finalizing these home improvements before the holidays and family visitors come and go is an important priority that can save both time and money.

 

Home energy efficiency is also an important part of owning a home. With more energy efficient appliances and sources, home owners can help improve the environment while reducing their own expenses at the same time. Some home improvements may also offer tax benefits to the homeowner. We recommend that you consult with a local, certified tax professional to learn which improvements may offer tax credits.

 

Skowhegan Savings offers several lending solutions to help you meet your goals. Home energy loans, home equity loans and lines of credit are just a few of the options that are available. Please utilize the knowledgeable staff at one of our local branches to learn more.
