January 22, 2016
PORTSMOUTH, NH. - �Service Credit Union is proud to announce a unique partnership with Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce which will feature the sponsorship of Heritage Park in Berlin, N.H.
Located in the Androscoggin River Valley in the heart of New Hampshire's Great North Woods, Heritage Park upholds and interprets the history of the working forest and celebrates the multi-cultural heritage of the Great North Woods Region. Established in 1994, the park features three acres of waterfront access and walkways, an outdoor amphitheater and logging cabins.
"Service Credit Union's generous sponsorship of the Heritage Park will help to preserve this important community asset and assure that the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce and other organizations can continue to hold successful events that generate commerce in the community and instill a great sense of community pride," said Mark Belanger President of the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. "Without this critical sponsorship, the future of Heritage Park was unknown and put the operating model of the Androscoggin Valley Chamber at risk."
Sponsorship will be used exclusively to cover core expenses such as utilities, perform basic maintenance and make capital improvements as funds allow.
Events such as Riverfire, Jericho ATV Concert, Wingzilla, PaddleMania attract tourists and residents of the local communities.� This activity raises funds and contributes to a more vibrant economy.� It also promotes the heritage that identifies the City and the Androscoggin Valley as a region, added Belanger.
"By teaming up with the local chamber, Service Credit Union is able to preserve a piece of irreplaceable history for the Coos County communities," said David Van Rossum, Chief Administration Officer at Service Credit Union. "We are honored to be able to assist these cities and towns where we do business in ways that cultivate and strengthen their heritage."
