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.

In February we told you about a unique partnership with the Downtown Little Rock Community Development Corporation (DTLRCDC) and The University of Arkansas Fay Jones School of Architecture.

Centennial Bank Rewards Commitment to Safety with an iPad

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Centennial Bank recently sponsored the S.A.F.E. “Street Smart” program for the Coral Shores High School freshmen class in Tavernier, Florida.  The purpose of the class was to increase awareness among teens about the dangers of driving without a seat belt, acting responsibly and staying focused while driving a vehicle. Centennial Bank concluded the S.A.F.E. program by asking the students to sign a Contract for Life with their parents, promising to act responsibly, to wear their seat belts and to call if they find themselves in a bad situation. 

At the end of the program, 32 students signed the pledge.  Of those, one was chosen at random to win a prize.  Kellen Clarke was the lucky person who won the iPad.
