Promoting automatic savings to help people reach their savings goals
 
Norwich, CT – As part of America Saves Week 2016, scheduled for February 22 – 27, 2016 Dime Bank is spreading the saving message and urging its network to encourage people to make savings automatic as part of America Saves Week. Dime is offering financial workshops at Jack Jackter Intermediate School in Colchester, CT, along with events at Mitchell College and Three Rivers Community College, located in New London, CT.
