Chamber Advocates on behalf of Businesses
Kerrie Babin, Chamber President and members of the board of directors respectfully urged Raynham Selectmen to
lower the commercial tax for 2012. At the tax classification hearing on November 22, 2011, Babin suggested that
Raynham Selectmen consider moving toward a flat tax and to lower the commercial tax rate to help relieve the burden facing businesses during the economic downturn. All three selectmen responded that they could not lower the
commercial rate this year because many residents were faring worse than businesses. As a result, Raynham will
continue with a split rate for commercial properties with a shift differential of 126 percent.

Taunton Area School

working adults to get
involved with TASC by
volunteering to "make a difference"
in a student’s life through their
Career Mentor Program.
Originating at Taunton High School
in 1988, The Career Mentor

Their adult volunteers meet with a
student over a four month period,
on average around twice a month,
and get to share their knowledge
and the tools that made them successful. The students benefit
tremendously from having a caring
adult showing them what’s out
there in the world of work.
Student’s eyes are opened to the
many careers available to them.
They become motivated and excited, and many are able to set goals
and plan for their futures. This
program really makes a difference
in their lives. There are always students on the waiting list that can
benefit from this great program and
TASC would like to make it available to even more of them this year.

Farrell Backlund
Insurance Agency,
based in Taunton,
announced in November that the
Richardson-Cuddy Insurance
Agency, Inc. of Attleboro has
merged with the company, creating
one of the largest independent
property and casualty insurance
agencies in southeastern

Taunton. The merger combines two
like-minded insurance agencies
that have served their respective
communities for generations.
Farrell Backlund Insurance began its
formation in the early 1950s and
continues to operate from its origi-
nal headquarters at 128 Dean Street
(Rt. 44) in Taunton. RichardsonCuddy Insurance is one of
Attleboro's oldest and mostrenowned businesses with roots
dating back to 1869 and a long history of involvement in the civic life
of the city. Bristol County Savings
Bank acquired a majority interest in
Farrell Backlund Insurance in 2008
to better serve its customers by
providing access to high quality,
competitive insurance coverage
through a trusted local agency. The
merger of Richardson-Cuddy and
Farrell Backlund Insurance expands
the Bank's ability to offer insurance
to its customers in the greater
Attleboro area. Started by Phil
Farrell and Rudy Backlund as two
separate entities in the early 1950s,
the Taunton-based companies
merged in 1999 and formed Farrell
Backlund Insurance Agency LLC.
The firm now has six locations –
Taunton, Rehoboth, Dighton,
Middleboro, Freetown and
Attleboro – employs more than 70
experienced insurance professionals
and enjoys contracts with over 25
national and regional insurance
companies. The firm is a leader in

solutions to its customers by

of personal and commercial insurance products. For more information please call 508-824-8666 or

Bristol County Savings Bank has
witnessed the good work and
potential of
Community Care
Services firsthand
over the years and

its Bristol County
Savings Charitable Foundation, presented a matching grant of $25,000
to the organization in recognition
of the more than $25,000 raised at
its Community Care 5K Walk
which took place at Capron Park in
Attleboro this past summer. Bristol
County Savings Bank has always
been an active supporter in the
communities it serves. The Bristol
County Savings Charitable
Foundation was established in
1996 as part of the Bank’s 150th
Anniversary celebration. Its purpose is to fund needs that contribute to the economic and the
social well-being of the people and
institutions located in greater
Attleboro/Taunton and greater New
