PEABODY, MASSACHUSETTS, May 26, 2006 … North Shore Bank and its employees recently donated $1,000 in support of local efforts to rebuild the Brooksby Farm barn that was destroyed by fire in February.

North Shore Bank employees raised $400 with a recent Jean Day Fundraiser, and the Bank contributed the balance.

NORTH SHORE BANK employees Suzanne Kolodziej and Gary Frost were among those who participated in a Jeans Day Fundraiser, raising money to help rebuild the barn on Brooksby Farm, which was destroyed by fire in February.
For a five-dollar donation, employees were allowed to wear jeans for the day. Many decided on a “farm motif” and also donned colorful bandanas to reinforce their support for Brooksby Farm, an 8.5-acre working farm managed by the City of Peabody and a significant historical landmark in the Essex National Heritage Area.

“As a community bank, it is our intention to assist, whenever we can,” said Francis J. McCormack, president and CEO. “North Shore Bank and its employees were dismayed to hear about the damage caused by the fire, and eager to show support for the rebuilding efforts.”

North Shore Bank, a full-service community bank based in Peabody, was established in 1888 under State charter. The Bank has nine branches in North Shore communities including Beverly, Danvers, Liberty Tree Mall, Lynn, Middleton, Peabody, Salem and West Peabody. The Bank is a member of the FDIC and a member of the SIF.
