Mechanics Savings Bank recently contributed $2,500 to the Pine Tree Society to help with improvements to its Early Learning Center at 589 Minot Ave., Auburn. The building requires significant improvements to sufficiently serve children’s needs. Pine Tree Society’s goal is to raise enough money to transform the building, addressing safety and comfort concerns. From left are Richard Vail, Mechanics Savings Bank president and CEO; Noel Sullivan, Pine Tree Society president and CEO; Karen McClure-Richard, director of the Early Learning Center; and Jeff Gosselin, Mechanics Savings Bank senior vice president and business banking market manager.
