during the, past year. However,
this award is designed to honor an
allied organization for outstanding
contribution,” stated PEMA
president Galen Buckwalter.
To qualify as an ‘outstanding’
egg promoter was as easy as
stirring an omelet that is unless
its being fried in a 4M>-foot pan. But
that’s just what Commonwealth
National did to give May’s Egg
Month its biggest kickoff.
Along with the incredible
omelette that was fried before the
eyes of hundreds of spectators
throughout southeastern Penn
sylvania,, the bank purchased
10.000 : cookbooks featuring egg
recipes, 2,000- egg spatulas and
2.000 egg separators that were
handed out to customers.
And besides cooperating in the
City of Lancaster’s Egg Month
promotion. Commonwealth put on
its own campaign and cooked up
more than 700 dozen eggs in the
effort. This month-long promotion
involved Commonwealth’s 45 area
branches, concentrating, however,
on the York, Carlisle, Harrisburg,
and Lancaster areas.
Commonwealth’s advertising
department went to work and
coordinated the month’s media
coverage. The bank purchased full
page ads and live radio coverage
for the ‘incredible, edible egg.’
In making the presentation last
Friday,' Buckwalter stated,
“Tonight we applaude Com
monwealth National Bank for their
interest and contribution to our
industry.’’
