Rose City Branch Manager David Berry and Camp Robinson Assistant Branch Manager Cheryl Schoeneweis were interviewed by Craig O'Neill Friday on Today's THV. They spoke about their efforts in the Summer Cereal Drive. The Camp Robinson Branch collected over 1750 boxes for kids in need in Central Arkansas. Centennial Bank collected more than 5,000 boxes in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood and Bryant.
We just concluded our 2010 Switlik Elementary Art Contest in Marathon recently. Children ranging from Kindergarten to fifth grade were invited to participate. Entries were judged by local artists Remy Cabrera, Julie Joyce and Lois Giffen along with Dinata Misovic, based on creativity, originality and best representation of the theme, “A Place I Would Like to Visit”.
The winners were Dante Senmartin, Giauna Abbruzzese, Blake Breedlove, India Wiggins, Holly Frederick, Xochitl Baron, Maidelys Quintero, Chris Garcia, April Sullivan, Lucas Ponzoa, Jazzmine Antrobus, Elizabeth Kyle and Bailey Sullivan. The winning artwork will be on display at the main branch of Centennial Bank in Marathon through the month of June.
For many years Centennial Bank has partnered with other local businesses to collect breakfast items for the THV Summer Cereal Drive. The goal of the cereal drive is to provide Arkansas children and families with healthy options for breakfast. Any Central Arkansas location of Centennial Bank can be a drop off point for breakfast related items. If you can't donate cereal, we will gladly accept cash donations towards the program.
Help us help others by donating breakfast items by the Thursday, June 26, cutoff. Find more information at the THV Summer Cereal Drive website.

Like many of our customers, safety and security are a main concern. The Mayflower Police Department recently needed to upgrade their hand held radio's for in-car systems to better communicate with the main office and each other. Centennial Bank, along with other community businesses were able to donate the funds needed to pay for the new radios. The new radios have updated features and a much longer range.
