We have just obtained tickets to visit the 911 Memorial site while we are in NYC for Sister Act. You don't want to miss this opportunity.

New Ticket to Ride Program

We’re making your account even better. You’re going to love it! It’s pretty simple — here’s how it works...New Horizons Club has created a new lapel pin. When you wear your pin to any NHC activity, you’ll receive a Ticket to Ride card. When you’ve collected 5 cards you can redeem them for a $5 Club Bucks certificate that you can use for any Club event. Use your Club Bucks to pay for NHC activities! You must wear your pin to receive a Ticket to Ride card. To keep it interesting, on unannounced occasions, you may receive more than one card at an event!

If you attended our December Holiday Luncheon, you were one of the first to learn about this new feature. When many programs seem to be shrinking in value or disappearing all together, we’re excited to expand New Horizons Club’s value.

How can you get one of the new lapel pins? Simple. Stop into any National Bank of Middlebury office and ask for the NHC lapel pin: Visit one of Middlebury’s two offices or the drive-up on Seymour Street, Vergennes, Bristol, Hinesburg or Brandon. Pins are for NHC members only and a second signer on the account. Though we welcome guests (non-members) to our events and activities, they will not receive Ticket to Ride cards. Lost or misplaced cards will not be replaced. NHC pins may be replaced. You must visit a NBM office to receive a pin — we will not be mailing pins.

When a new NHC account is opened, new members will be given one of our distinctive lapel pins.

Ticket to Ride card has no cash value and Club Bucks may only be redeemed for NHC activities.

In Between the Lines

Email is a way to stay in touch. When there is important news to share about a Club event or activity, email is a quick and easy method of informing you about it in a timely way. If you are reading this, you obviously are someone who likes to connect via the internet.  Would you share your email address with NHC? Send your email address to: cbirchmo@nationalbankmiddlebury.com and we'll add you to our list. We never share your name or address with other businesses or people.
