NORWICH – On Friday, July 3 area residents looking to cash that fourth of July paycheck are invited to join the staff at both Norwich branches of Community Bank as they kick off the long holiday weekend by celebrating Customer Appreciation Day.

The downtown branch of the bank located at 18 S. Broad St. will host its celebration form 11 a.m. to 4 p.m..

Branch Manager Terri Slater says that the concept is two-fold: to thank existing customers for their patronage and also forge new relationships by welcoming those unfamiliar with the business into their branches.
