ALPHARETTA, Ga, March 24 /North Atlanta National Bank/ -- Governor Sony Perdue has proclaimed April as Community Banking Month andAlpharetta's North Atlanta National Bank will join community bankers nationwide to celebrate the month long event. For the past ten years, community bankers across the country have made a coordinated effort to inform the public of the important economic and social contributions their banks make in their hometowns.
Jimmy Walker, President of North Atlanta National Bank said, "Community banks are vital to the economic growth and prosperity in communities across Georgia. Community banks offer continuity, financial expertise, lower fees, local decisions, and outstanding personal service. What's more, community banks are committed to supporting and strengthening local economies through their involvement in economic development projects, charitable donations, and dedication to improving the quality of life in their communities. As a community bank, we have a different philosophy than larger financial institutions. North Atlanta National Bank is uniquely committed to the North Fulton community and our focus is to help our community grow and prosper."
During Community Banking Month, North Atlanta National Bank will celebrate with a number of events. On April 4th, the bank will perform Internet Banking demonstrations all day, on the hour, every hour during working hours.

April 16th will feature a free seminar for small businesses in North Fulton. Mr. Walker will lead the discussion on business loans and what banks look for when making lending decisions. On April 25th the bank honors its customers and the community at its Customer and Community Appreciation Day.

Refreshments, including lunch, will be served from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For more information on any of these events, please call 678-227-8412.
