The transition will be complete by December 20, 2010. Account owners will receive detailed information over the coming months.

Congratulations to our CPA sweepstakes winner!

In recent tax seasons, First National Bank has reached out to local Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) to show our appreciation for their hard work. This year, along with special gifts, we also entered CPAs into a sweepstakes for every referral they sent us. C. David Bruce, from Orizon CPAs LLC, was selected as our winner.

Mr. Bruce earned a travel certificate worth up to $5,000. Cindy Balzer, Mr. Bruce's Business Banker, presented him with the prize. "He couldn't have been more thrilled," she says. "He gave the certificate to his daughter and son-in-law so that they could visit his other daughter and her family in the Philippines, where they have been doing missionary work for four years."

We congratulate Mr. Bruce and thank all of the hard-working CPAs for their commitment!
