BELFAST — Tony McKim, President and CEO of First National Bank, joined Jennifer Boyton, Belfast Branch Manager, and other staff met at the Waldo County YMCA(WCY) to present a check for $5,000. This is the second year they have been a Sustaining Sponsor, helping to ensure that the WCY can maintain their charitable mission in the community.

WCY CEO, Russell Werkman, expressed his gratitude to First National Bank saying, “I am grateful for the financial and volunteer support First National Bank gives us. Everyone at First National appreciates that the YMCA is one of the few places where people of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs come together. This sponsorship is an example of their commitment to improving the lives of everyone in Waldo County.”
