Members of the Paducah Bank Board of Directors presented a check for $2,500 to Child Watch Children's Advocacy Center on Thursday. The donation represents the Board's wish to make a charitable contribution rather than receive Christmas gifts for themselves from the Bank. Members who had perfect attendance at all Board meetings during the year were given the honor of selecting a local charity to receive the donation.

"Selecting only one of the many deserving charities in our community was a challenging task," said Paducah Bank Director Conner Framptom. "In the end, we felt that a donation for the welfare of children was very appropriate during the Christmas season. Child Watch was suggested, and we unanimously agreed that it would be an excellent choice."
