Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Community Service Award
Barton VT- Cathy Hayes, Community National Bank Barton Office Manager recently had the honor of presenting Nancy Rodgers with Community National Bank’s Community Service Award.

Nancy has been a dedicated volunteer for many years in our community. She currently is the head of Helping Hands and Hearts, a group associated with Saint Paul’s Catholic Church. Nancy is responsible for identifying and communicating with families and individuals in crisis situations and provides them with food, clothing and other needs. During this past holiday season Nancy was made aware of many families that could not afford gifts for their children. With the financial help and the support of individuals this need was met. Nancy’s close connections to her community allow her to help her neighbors in times of need.
