Mechanics Savings Bank exclusive sponsor of AHCH 2010 holiday remembrance ornaments

LEWISTON – Mechanics Savings Bank is the exclusive sponsor of the Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice’s (AHCH) 2010 Holiday Remembrance Ornaments.

This is the fifth year AHCH has offered remembrance ornaments during the holidays. It has become a meaningful way for individuals to remember and honor their loved one.

This year they are offering a choice of two ornaments. One features a peace dove and the other, holiday candles with holly leaves. The ornaments are made in Maine, from New England rock maple and expertly hand cut on a scroll saw. Ornaments come with a personalized remembrance tag, and are packaged in a clear plastic box.

Ornaments are $20 each and proceeds support AHCH home care and hospice services. Quantities are limited. Because they are handmade, reservations must be placed by December 1.

2010 Holiday Remembrance Ornaments are on display with reservation forms at all three Mechanics Savings Bank locations: 100 Minot Ave., Auburn, 664 Main St., Lewiston and 3 Drive-In Lane, Windham; the AHCH Hospice House in Auburn and AHCH’s main office on Strawberry Avenue, Lewiston.
