WATERTOWN, February 2014--  On Tuesday, March 4th, Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) will give away $75,000 to the 30 local community organizations chosen by their banking customers, in the bank’s annual Customer Choice Awards.  The list of winners is below.          

“The bank’s annual customer choice awards is in its 18th year, and is a program of which we are particularly proud,” said Ronald Dean, chief executive officer.  “The list of winners reflects the important work being done by non-profits and volunteer organizations throughout the communities we serve.  These funds will help support local schools, food pantries, and libraries just to name a few.”

Dollars to be awarded are based on the number of votes each organization received.  With a maximum amount of $3,500, any organization with at least one percent of the vote received funds. Voting took place over the latter half of 2013.
