National Bank supports Empowering with donation, supplies
GREENVILLE – Second National Bank donated a check for the second year
in a row, plus added much needed supplies, including paper, notebooks
and black dry-erase markers for Empowering Darke County Youth’s Summer
Tutoring and 2018-19 After School Programs.
“The kids were excited, especially about the notebooks and markers,”
Bob Robinson, Program Coordinator, said. “They were constantly using up
markers… seems there were never enough to meet the needs of all
students. These should get us through the summer and into next year’s
After School Program.”
Second National Bank executives, Vickie Wessling, Administrative
Assistant and Marketing Manager, and Antonia Baker, Assistant Trust
Officer, were impressed with the Empowering kids, all Greenville
Schools Elementary and Middle School students. They noted the
excitement and demeanor of the youngsters.
“I want to thank you for all that you are doing for these kids,” said
Wessling later. “They were so well behaved and I loved seeing all those
smiles. Good job!”
Second National Bank is active in its support of the community, with
recent donations to Arcanum’s Wall of Honor, Main Street Greenville,
Gathering at Garst and more, Robinson noted. “We are pleased and proud
they have chosen to support our kids as well,” he added.
