One of the wonderful things about our Mid-Ohio Valley communities is the number of those involved in civic organizations and companies where there is always a desire to help. When two or more of those groups come together, wonderful things happen.
When Belpre Rotary Club member Linda Robinson asked a question during a presentation about the impact of the Peoples Bank Foundation, it inspired the latter to do a little more to help a third project -- the Washington County Imagination Library program.
Robinson was worried about the number of children on the waiting list for the local Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program. But Kevin Eagan, chief marketing officer at Peoples Bank, stepped up and said "Yeah, we can take care of that." As a result, a $2,525 contribution was made to the library project.
That will mean 101 children will receive a complete year of books.
"Peoples Bank is dedicated to improving our communities, and we recognize that reading is a fundamental building block for a successful education," Eagan said. "Supporting the Imagination Library in providing books to children in Washington County aligns perfectly with our mission. We extend our gratitude to Marietta Community Foundation, Belpre Rotary, and the Imagination Library Program for their exceptional work right here in the Mid-Ohio Valley."
What a team we have, working for the betterment of local families and communities. Think of the possibilities if they all keep marching forward, together.
