Dear Corporators & Board,

The Annual Meeting for Pentucket Bank Holdings, MHC will take place on Monday, March 27, 2023 at 5:00 p.m.  The meeting will be held at the Blue Ocean Event Center, 4 Ocean Front North, Salisbury, Massachusetts.

Name tags will be provided for all attendees.  Please be sure to pick up your badge at the reception table prior to the meeting so that we may keep an accurate account of attendance.

Please join us in celebrating the many accomplishments of the Pentucket Bank team in 2022 and get to know our Newburyport Bank friends!
