The discussed how the bank is there to help people in person as well as online. Banks can help people to use mobile banking, deposit checks, transfer money from one account to another, and other matters.

Five members of New Horizon EHC attended the Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council Spring Education Workshop at North Little Rock. Jefferson County had four clubs represented.
There were two guest speakers. Robin Gabe talked about state parks and heritage.
Rhonda Sanders talked about the Arkansas Food Bank.
"I was surprised at how much our EHC groups from around the state do to be a help to the food bank," a spokesman said.
The spokesman also offered advice: "Work on something challenging. Do something for others. Smile often. Join a group (like New Horizon EHC). Give someone a break, like babysitting, sitting with and elderly person, (you'd be surprised at what you can learn from them), and exercise, drink plenty of water and take care of yourself."
