Savings Tip – Check Out Your Local Library

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Diane Hicks

Looking for fun and free educational and entertainment opportunities for your children? Good news, you can find all of that with a visit to your local library.

Most locations offer free concerts or story times for younger kids, like Saturday Story Times available at the Charles County Public Library. Not only are these events cost effective, they are also influential in getting kids interested and excited about reading at an early age.

There’s always something for teens and tweens too! Game night and a cooking workshop are just two events coming up at Prince Frederick’s Calvert Library.

Most events are usually held at the same time on a regular basis, which can grant moms and dads the ability to arrange a carpool; saving some busy parents another valuable resource – time.

Do you visit your local library?

Please join us in contributing food items and toys to the members of our community who need them most.

We are proud to support our communities and this holiday season we will be hosting our Second Annual Food and Toy Drive in all of our branches November 9 through December 13.

You can make a difference.
Please bring your non-perishable food items, such as canned vegetables and fruit, soups, spaghetti sauce, rice, macaroni and cheese and hot/cold cereals, to any Community Bank branch. Collections made in Southern Maryland will be donated to the Southern Maryland Food Bank and collections in King George County will be donated to the Department of Social Services for the King George Food Pantry.

We are also collecting new, unwrapped toys to distribute to local families with young children during the holidays. Toys collected in Calvert, King George, and St. Mary’s Counties will support the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and toys collected in Charles County will benefit the Children’s Aid Society, Inc.

And the good news is – tomorrow is election day! Continue reading →

Recovering from Hurricane Sandy

Posted on October 31, 2012 by Diane Hicks

Here at Community Bank of Tri-County we are thankful to have weathered the storm that was Hurricane Sandy.

We are grateful to efforts of first responders, as well as Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO), which did an incredible job keeping our lights on, and restoring it as quickly as possible.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those families and businesses still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Sandy.

Looking for a way to help? Because Hurricane Sandy affected supplies, the American Red Cross is looking for donations of blood and platelets. To find a blood drive near you, visit their website – RedCrossBlood.org.
