Marjorie Horsford, the bank’s first employee, said CCB was delighted to have the children at the function as part of its community involvement and interest in the island’s youth.
Wade Richardson, CCB’s Manager Operations, said in a Christmas message that the event was one of the bank’s ways of contributing to the social development of the community and it was part of the institution’s mission.
