Generations Bank cooks hamburgers and hot dogs for City and County employees. It was a nice midweek gesture to show appreciation for all they do. At top we see Charley Williams, branch manager from Camden, flipping burgers. Also, top right we have a glimpse of Market President Delois Kitchens helping out with the cooking. Below we see Vice President Myra Dunn serving a few of our city and county employees. You can find the bank randomly thanking businesses for serving the community.
