Cross Keys Bank Summer 2013 Newsletter

Our Employees: Giving Back We believe that community banking and community involvement are inherently related- so much so that it is nearly impossible for one to exist without the other. As community bankers, we realize the importance of giving back to our community and the positive impact we can have. Our banking culture echoes this commitment to our community, which promotes compassion, ethical behavior and social responsibility. Our employees are encouraged to give back to their communities by volunteering their time, donating to worthy causes or participating in leadership or mentor programs.

All eyes and ears in this third-grade class were fixed on Jim Cuthbert as he read aloud from Dr. Seuss’ “One fish two fish red fish blue fish” at J S Clark Magnet School. Cuthbert, who gave a spirited reading of the book, was just one of the many adult volunteers who participated in “Read Across America Day” on March 1. This nationwide event encourages children to develop a love and appreciation of reading at a young age.
