OVB Chief Operating & Risk Officer Ryan Jones described the bank’s long-standing tradition of using a “money ribbon” for grand openings. As per tradition, the money ribbon funds are donated to a local charity as a reflection of the bank’s Community First mission. For the Parkersburg Loan Office grand opening, Sandy presented the $500 money ribbon funds to the Camden Clark Foundation-Pink Mammogram Fund.
Following the donation presentation, Sandy invited guests to tour the new office as well as enjoy refreshments provided by JRs Donut Castle.
