🚨 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day🚨

Imposter scams often start with a phone call, text, or email from someone pretending to be a trusted source, such as a government agency or business.

⚠️ If someone unexpectedly tells you to move your money, withdraw cash, share personal information, or act immediately, it’s likely a scam.

💙 At Aroostook Savings & Loan, we’re committed to helping protect our friends and neighbors from fraud. If something doesn’t feel right, stop and verify before taking action.

In observance of Juneteenth, our offices will be closed on Friday, June 19. Our drive-thru will be open as usual on Saturday, June 20, from 9AM to Noon. We will resume normal business hours on Monday.

💡 Did You Know?
The name Juneteenth combines the words June and nineteenth, marking June 19, 1865 — the day news of freedom finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued more than two years earlier on January 1, 1863, news traveled slowly and Juneteenth commemorates the day freedom was finally announced in Texas and has become one of America's oldest celebrations of freedom.
