Growth in deposits (up 7.5%, or $126.9 million) funded the Cape Cod Five’s continued commitment to lending on the Cape and Islands, as net loans increased $138.2 million to $1.56 billion. Dorothy A. Savarese noted: “The Bank was able to continue its prudent growth, remain strong and expand its customer base through the commitment of its Corporators and Trustees and through the dedication of our employees, who serve our customers on an individual basis each and every day in a consistent, high quality manner.”

Elected as new Corporators of the Cape Cod Five Mutual Company, the parent company of the Bank, were Shawn J. Almeida of Almeida and Carlson Insurance Agency, Charles L.

The Bank also announced that it would provide $1,000,000 of funding to the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Charitable Foundation Trust in honor of the 45th anniversary of David B. Willard joining the Bank. Mr. Willard is the Bank’s current and long-serving Vice President, Director of Community Relations. This $1,000,000 will create a permanent endowment that will fund a new $45,000 annual category of giving to be named in honor of Mr. Willard. In announcing the award, Dorothy A. Savarese noted: “Finding a meaningful way to recognize David’s contribution to Cape Cod Five and the communities we serve was not a simple task. By creating an annual giving mechanism in his honor that will benefit the region and add to the Foundation’s resources in perpetuity, we hope to recognize his decades of effort and allow him to have a long lasting impact on the work of the Bank and Foundation for many years to come.”
