Please join us in congratulating Denise Cates for being named the Newberry Rotary Layperson of the Year. Denise, a retail sales associate serving First Community Bank’s Newberry market, was honored at a breakfast meeting on November 22.
The annual award was established to recognize an outstanding individual in the local community who best exhibits the spirit of “Service to Others,” which is the guiding principle of all Rotary Clubs.
Denise upholds this can-do attitude through her many volunteer efforts. She works with a number of local organizations including Boy Scout Troop 222, Mid-Carolina Middle School PTO, Newberry County Chamber of Commerce, the Prosperity Business Association and Epting United Methodist Church.
During her acceptance remarks, Denise said her parents taught her to “work hard for what you want and to treat others with respect and dignity.”
It’s easy to see why we are so proud to have Denise on the First Community Bank team. Congratulations, Denise!
