Community Bank of Pickens County Supports Keep Pickens Beautiful

If you haven’t noticed the two new pergolas, brick walk through and refurbished Keep Pickens Beautiful building on Main St. in downtown Jasper you need to go by and bask in the glow. The Board of Directors of the Keep Pickens Beautiful organization decided the building their office resides in and the surrounding area needed some beautification. The project was organized by the Board of Directors with Mary Ann Manzel at the helm as President. The building received a new roof, repairs in siding and facia boards and a new paint job. A small porch was constructed at the entrance to guard from rain and a concrete pad was pored for a safer step up into the building. In the garden area next to the building some bushes were removed and two beautiful pergolas were constructed. A brick walk through from the sidewalk to the parking lot was constructed and the parking lot was resurfaced.

Community Bank of Pickens County donated $1200 to the project, being the premier sponsor. Lee Dunn, owner of the building, also contributed to the enhancements and the City of Jasper was very helpful with the parking lot, porch pad, and brick walk through. Volunteers from the Keep Pickens Beautiful organization provided the labor for painting and refurbishment of the building and transplanting plants. Mary Ann Manzel designed the pergolas and garden area. This project shows what a little community involvement and support can accomplish.

The Keep Pickens Beautiful organization focuses on recycling education and efforts, Adopt A Road program for trash removal, and beautification projects.

Community Bank of Pickens County Staff Donates to ACES

The staff of Community Bank of Pickens County voted to forego their annual gift giving to each other and instead, donate what they would normally spend to Appalachian Children’s Emergency Shelter(ACES). Shown is Larry Butler, President of ACES receiving a check for $500 on behalf of the ACES organization. There has been a great need for a children’s shelter in Pickens County for many years. The donation will go towards finishing the construction of the building that will house the shelter.



Construction Update

Construction is progressing nicely on the new Cove Rd. location for Community Bank of Pickens County. Steel supports are in place, framing and dry in is complete, and all should be under roof by end of week of December 24. Rough-ins for plumbing and electrical are underway and should also be done by first of year. All is on schedule for a March completion date.

This location will be a full service location with all banking services available. Ryan Keeter is overseeing the new location and stated, “This location will offer a lot of folks on the East side a more convenient place to bank. The Cove Rd. location will just be an extension of our main location. We have outgrown our current location and truly need more room to accommodate our growth. We look forward to serving the needs of both existing and new customers from this location.”

Community Bank of Pickens County Partners with The Boys & Girls Clubs of Pickens County

Community Bank of Pickens County has partnered with the West End and Roper Park Boys & Girls Clubs in a reading program. Community Bank has provided books to be read every week by volunteer staff every Tuesday & Thursday at 4:30pm. Brian Craig of Community Bank of Pickens County wanted to start a reading program for the children of Pickens County and felt the Boys & Girls Clubs were a perfect outlet to share his love of reading. The children are very attentive and seem to really enjoy listening and quiet time that a quality reading program offers. Once the books are read to both clubs, one of the clubs is presented with the book to keep as part of their permanent library.
