Rewards of giving sweetened with the banana pudding offer on Paz-Holley Project How many people could have to be hired to assemble and bake once people hear that a sweet reward of giving - in addition to one's spirit being warmed by helping children - is a homemade banana pudding? Stacey Wilson might just have to start up a food factory if her call for 28 more donors to give a thousand dollars each comes through on her promise that she'll bake them a banana pudding when their check is in the bank! Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Linda Waggener First & Farmers National Bank president Ann Martin said it may have been the banana pudding offer from Stacey Wilson that really got her team moving. "We were on track to support the Paz-Holley Project," she said, "and it was when Stacey said she'd bake a banana pudding for any gift over a thousand dollars that we really got to work." The bank established a $500 gift and challenged staff to see if they could match that. Mandy Cross added to her duties the constant reminding of everyone to give, right up to the last minute. Dozens of FFNB employees gave donations adding to the bank's $500 gift - some who had already given through their churches stretching and giving more - up to the final total of $2,025 from the bank family, pushing the Paz-Holley Project over $80,000 Wednesday, August 1, 2018. Gathering for media pictures to celebrate the gift publicly, she made sure to mention that many more gave than those who were able to be in the photo but every one of them were happy to be able to help the ten Paz-Holley children have a home. Stacey Wilson had made a business challenge in June when $40,000 remained the need to buy the house. She envisioned 40 businesses donating $1,000 each making the goal of $108,000 a clear possibility. Chairman Rick Wilson and his wife Sandy set the goal of Thanksgiving to help have the Paz-Holley children in a home that would give them room to live under one roof. Once the total has been reached, then the Band of Brothers have volunteered to get the house ready for the family. What a day of thanksgiving that will be! The additional idea, sweetening that challenge with the offer of a homemade banana pudding for each gift of $1,000, could possibly bring in much more money. Thinking big, it could result in Stacey having to create even more jobs than she already does at Community Medical, building a boom to economic development in Adair County.
