Thoughts of Thanksgiving from Merritt Lane

Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year because it is a time that makes me stop and reflect. It’s common in the hustle and bustle of life to lose sight of all of the people and things that make life worth living and bring peace and happiness. I personally try to live with an “attitude of gratitude” but know that I can sometimes fall woefully short of the mark.

Among my life’s many blessings, I cherish the special bond and deep relationships within the CBC Family. I am so proud of all of our people and excited about the things we have and will accomplish together. The CBC Family exemplifies the best in teamwork, professionalism and high character and it shows up in the value we create for our customers, our country and each other. This is what we mean when we say “people make the difference” at CBC.

Thank you, CBC Family, for making the difference and may you and your families continue to enjoy life’s many blessings.
Stay safe and happy Thanksgiving!
