Standing Stone National Bank regularly participates in important community events, and we’re also proud to sponsor and host a few signature events of our own. Here’s what we have coming up and what we have participated in thus far:
2009 Upcoming Events
YMCA Expansion Below is a letter from the YMCA Director, Mike Lieber, to Barry Ritchey: Dear Barry, " "A Promise to Our Community" is the slogan which our capital campaign will continue to use as we work hard to promote the East side facility. Again, thank you for your recent gift to make this happen. Imagine the wonderful feeling that we will receive when the Martens gym is alive with young basketball players and the East side has a ton of kids enjoying the youth center and the open courts. The Bible verse quoted is "people without a vision will perish"; it is so wonderful to be able to articulate our vision of the East side and see the community respond. Our children and our community will be stronger because of your vision and your financial support. I look forward to our celebration and the grand opening of the newest services being to answer the needs and demands of our community. I can't express how deeply grateful that I am for your continued support." Standing Stone wishes Mike Lieber and the rest of the YMCA staff a smooth and successful transition into their new building. We look forward to seeing you there! 2009 Past Events

Get Smart About Credit Day
The event this year was held at Fisher Catholic High School on October 30th. Our employees, Karenda Arnett and Nicole McLaughlin, presented the "Credit Facts of Life" to 30 ninth-grade students. Some of the topics that were covered were: how to make yourself creditworthy, how to manage debt responsibly, warning signs of credit trouble, talking about the fact the a credit report is your "financial resume" and they also discussed how to prevent identity theft. The forty minute presentation provided students the opportunity to participate by answering questions asked by our demonstrators. They also discussed how to identify terms and conditions in association with credit card offers. Feed My Starving Children

Volunteers of all ages hand packed meals designed for starving children and then packed and shipped to over 60 countries throughout the world. Over 225,000 meals were packed for this cause during this event. Thanks to all who volunteered their time and effort.
