FRANKLIN, MASSACHUSETTS, March 13, 2007

Dean Bank will once again be sponsoring the “If I Were a Millionaire for a Day” contest that is open to local elementary school students participating in Dean Bank’s Save for America” school savings program. Cash prizes will be awarded in each school system by grade levels. All first place winners will be invited to a police-escorted limousine ride from their school to Dean Bank’s Main Office in Franklin where they will receive a grand tour of Dean Bank followed by a luncheon with their parents, principal, parent volunteers and Bank president Wayne Cottle at a local restaurant in June.

Contest guidelines are as follows. All entries must depict what the student would do if he or she were a millionaire for a day. Students in grades K-2 must draw a poster no larger than 16” x 20” and students in grades 3-6 must write a one-page essay. Students entering the contest must have a student savings account at Dean Bank. Those without an account are invited to open a student savings account prior to April 6, 2007 to enter the contest. Students must title their entry “If I Were a Millionaire for a Day” and write their name, grade, school, and teacher’s name on the reverse side of their entry. Neatness, grammar, punctuation and spelling will be considered on all essays. Entries should portray good deeds, contributions to society or general ideas that would make the world a better place.

Students should bring their entries to their school bank or leave them at their principal’s office no later than Friday, April 6, 2007, and the Save for America parent volunteers will deliver the entries to Dean Bank. Entries will be judged at the Bank and winners will be announced May 4, 2007.
