Bank of Santa Clarita Executives

Bank of Santa Clarita recently went beyond what most banks do to help new homeowners get into their first house. Instead of lending money, they gave away $1,000. The contribution came when Bank of Santa Clarita executives attended the grand opening of the new Lowe's Home Improvement Center in The Plaza at Golden Valley. Lowe's and Bank of Santa Clarita will be neighbors when the bank's newest branch opens in the First Quarter of 2009 at the retail center on Golden Valley Road. Lowe's offered to match any gift card purchases with a dollar-for-dollar contribution to Habitat for Humanity. Seeing an opportunity to invest in the community served by their new branch, Bank of Santa Clarita executives, James D. Hicken, President and Chief Executive Officer; Frank D. Di Tomaso, Vice Chairman and Kimberly A. Altobello, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, immediately purchased $1,000 worth of Lowe's gift cards.
