Participants included Wayne Bank employees from the Milford branch: Mary Alice Petzinger, Toni Stenger, Betty Rufano; Wendy Davis, Shohola branch; Sandy Mruczkewycz, Lords Valley branch; and Karen Peach, from Wayne Bank’s corporate office in Honesdale.

Throughout the month of April, Wayne Bank’s employees presented to 17 third grade classes, totaling 407 students, in the Delaware Valley School District. “The importance of saving money is a life skill which is sometimes overlooked, and our bankers took time out of their busy schedules to visit our local schools to help fill the gap and prepare children for future financial success,” stated Bill Davis, Wayne Bank president and CEO. The presentation included games and activities that focused on various concepts such as saving money, how interest makes money grow, making a budget and determining needs versus wants.
