United Bank recently hosted their Annual Academic Awards Breakfast at the Marion Chamber of Commerce.
Each year the breakfast is held to honor seniors from the county high schools. They are chosen by their administration according to their academic records, extracurricular activities, and their overall achievements.
Featured guest speaker, Gus Comstock, Marion’s CAN DO Director, spoke about today’s world economy and encouraged the students to embrace understanding of other cultures and their impact on politics and the world economy. United Bank President, Don Stone, encouraged the scholarship winners to consider Marion County as a place to reside after college.
United Bank gave each recipient a Kindle Fire and gift card.
