United Way's Day of Action

Standing Stone National Bank helped "Pack the Pantry"

United Way's National Day of Action was an opportunity to declare United Way of Fairfield County's intention to improve lives by mobilizing people to advance the common good.  The focus for this event held on June 21, 2011, was food.

Standing Stone National Bank became involved with this effort and focused on monetary donations to help "Pack the Pantry."  Employees donated money to "dress down" for the day and donation jars were placed in our lobbies for the public to donate.  Every dollar donated allowed the food pantries to purchase approximately $8 worth of food, and we raised enough for the food pantries to purchase approximately $1,052 worth of food.

Standing Stone National Bank participates in Teach Chilren to Save Day 2011

Standing Stone National Bank representatives Karenda Arnett and Andria Griggs presented "Saving Money is Smart" to 100 local first grade students at West Elementary for Teach Children to Save Day on April 12, 2011.  Each student was given a bag of goodies including a workbook, a newsletter for parents, and a participation certificate, among other items.

Teach Children to Save Day is a national campaign that raises awareness about the important role that banks and bankers play in helping young people develop lifelong savings habits.  The program has reached 4 million young people with the help of some 97,000 banker volunteers through its annual awareness day.

This is a response we received from one of the teacher's whose class attended the presentation:       

 "Thank you so much for your presentation this morning.  My students and I enjoyed learning more about banking.  My students were really interested and you kept their attention very well.  They are enjoying their goodies from their bags and are proud of their certificates."
