NUVOfest Celebration to Mark a New Era of Banking - November 13
 

You knew that they were coming.  You've heard the sounds of construction.  You've seen the signs of progress. You've read the reports in the papers.  Now you can experience NUVO Bank & Trust for yourself!

On Thursday, November 13, the team at NUVO Bank is inviting you to stop by and see what all of the fuss is about during NUVOfest.  From noon to 2:30, the public is encouraged to enjoy the bash both inside the bank as well as on Main Street right outside of NUVO's doors. 

On that day, Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from Boland to Bridge streets.  Instead of traffic, patrons will find a harvest celebration atmosphere complete with live music, local radio stations, the Patriots car, complimentary cider, donuts and fresh apples. You are invited to be a part of history in the making and join NUVO officials and local dignitaries for the official NUVO ribbon cutting at 12:30.

Then at 12:45 step out onto Main Street for an exciting funny Money Drop, as paper play money is blown from the third floor of the Tower Square garage, down to the street for patrons to grab and redeem for prizes!  Some of the funny money is redeemable for cash deposits (up to $1,000) and other prizes!

NUVO Bank & Trust offers a comfortable atmosphere complete with coffee station, electronic banking pods manned by "concierges", free WiFi, art gallery, and community meeting room to name a few of the amenities of doing banking the NUVO way.

UNICEF Days Successful Thanks to Tower Square Patrons

Neighborhood Foods gave away free boxes of popcorn for UNICEF donations during
UNICEF Days in the Citywalk Cafes last month.

Children from around the world will benefit from the proceeds raised during the two-day UNICEF Days event in Citywalk Cafes last month. Close to $800 was collected at the event, which was sponsored by Young & Peter Choi, owners of Neighborhood Foods. 

UNICEF Days featured free popcorn for every UNICEF donation, as well as free massages and health screenings courtesy of the students from the Branford Hall Institute, and the musical performance was courtesy of vocalist Amy Mercier.

The Choi's would like to thank all of those who made a donation to UNICEF during the event, with a special mention of thanks to the folks at Robinson Donovan, PC, for their company donation of $250.

In addition the Choi's expect the total donation amount to increase by a few hundred dollars once they collect the UNICEF donation boxes distributed to Tower Square merchants in early October. 

UNICEF is the United Nations Children's Fund, which has been advocating and helping children for more than 60 years, by providing clean water and sanitation for families, vaccinations, nourishment, AIDS care, as well as education for children in need around the world.

Students from the Branford Hall Institute offered free massages, glucose 

 & blood pressure screenings during last month's UNICEF fundraiser.
