At Sonabank, we often say we’re a family business, and we mean that in more ways than one. Many of us
have worked together for decades – we’ve been working together for so long that we feel like a family. As
many of you know, Devon Porter is Rod and Georgia’s son, but we also have other employees of the bank
who are related.
Sharon Taylor is the daughter of our senior loan officer, Marie Taylor Leibson. Sharon started coming to
Southern Financial summer picnics when she was just a kid, back in the nineties. Devon remembers her
throwing water balloons at him. Since then, Sharon put herself through school, had a beautiful daughter, and
worked her way up from teller, to branch manager, and beyond. She’s currently heading Sonabank’s Human
Resources department, and has been doing so for several years. Employees can always count on Sharon for
level-headed advice, compassion, and deep knowledge of HR-related issues.
Congratulations to Sharon Taylor, our employee of the quarter!!
A well-attended 2016 Annual Meeting!

On April 29th, Branch managers Anita Hughes and Jessica Stewart went
to M.M. Pierce Elementary, in Remington, VA to do a “Teach Children
to Save” Day presentation to Kindergarten and 1 st graders in Karla
Kolb’s art classroom. They discussed safe and unsafe places to save
money, and the kids participated in an interactive lesson where they were
able to choose which place was safe or unsafe based on what they had
discussed. There were lots of giggles!
The students also made take-home piggy bank crafts out of plastic water
bottles, and they sent them home with some activity sheets from the
VBA website as well. They had a great time and Mrs. Kolb said some of
her students asked if they were coming back anytime soon.

On May 11, 2016 our McLean Branch went to Barcroft Elementary
School in Arlington County. They taught the kindergarten students
about saving. Celina and Tia helped the students put together carbon piggy banks with Sonabank logos. We read them the “Sam’s
Silly Saving Spots” story and had them participate in a game where
students decide which places were “More Safe” and “Less Safe” to
put their money.
Kate Ryan and Anita Hughes spent time networking at the Warrenton Chamber of Commerce Woman's Business Council Luncheon
with guest speaker: Virginia State Senator Jill Vogel. Empowering
Women to Succeed! It was a great Chamber event.
Our Upper Marlboro branch also had a fantastic time giving back
and sharing career information with the children at Brandywine
Elementary on April 22, 2016. They spoke to four classes
(kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 5th grade) and shared with them the
importance of math, reading, writing when working in a bank.

On March 5th the Midlothian Branch participated and volunteered for an event called
Cinderella Dreams. They were ‘Fairy Godmothers’ and assisted teen girls in finding
the perfect dress. Cinderella Dreams is an event put together by the Midlothian Junior
Women’s Club. Area high school senior girls can come to shop for their Prom dress
and accessories for a $5.00 donation. The community donates New/like-new prom/
evening gowns (recent style from 2010 or later), evening bags, new unopened cosmetics, perfume, jewelry and new unopened hosiery, hair accessories and hair spray.
The Midlothian Branch participates each year. Employees of Sonabank donate items
that the branch takes with them to the event. This is a great event that really helps the
young girls in their community. Every girl deserves to feel like a princess and this
helps them to access the tools to make their prom night a fashion success.

The Clifton Forge Branch sponsored the 20th Alleghany Highlands Bike Rodeo on May 7th.
This event is organized by the local law enforcement agencies to promote bicycle safety for area
youth. Equipment, including 150 bikes, are given away to boys and girls who participate in the
event. Sonabank is proud to sponsor such events. We care about the communities we live and
work in. We appreciate our local law enforcement and we do our best to work with them in any
way we can to help the people in our communities. No matter how large our bank gets, we will
always maintain our small town feel.
