2012 is here, and with it comes a change for the way Sons and Daughters of Douglass, Inc. does business.
The change involves switching over to a new bank to handle the alumni association's business affairs.
The new bank is Green Bank.
"We opened up the new account at Green Bank," says president Virginia (Jenny) Hankins, "because the wife of one of our alumni (Frank Horton's wife, Dee Dee Horton) is an employee of Green Bank, and the bank has always supported our reunions. The bank we were using, has never supported our reunion with financial incentives in any way whatsoever."
"We, as a non-profit corporation, get better service, and there is a good possibility that we can get Green Bank to sponsor some of our reunion events. Also, Dee Dee is a professional event planner, who we hope will continue to support us."

"Once an organization receives financial support from a major corporation," Hankins continued, "it makes it easier to get support from others. I believe this is a good move for the Douglass High School alumni and their Board of Directors. We now have a personal connection with our new bank, and look forward to a wonderful relationship."
