William E. “Willie” McDonald Honored by the Tennessee Bankers Association

Written by CedarStone Bank on July 29, 2014. Posted in News & Events. No Comments on William E. “Willie” McDonald Honored by the Tennessee Bankers Association

CedarStone Bank’s own Willie McDonald has been selected by the Tennessee Bankers Association for their Leadership in Banking Excellence award. Not only is it a tremendous honor, it is a permanent one; all of the honorees are displayed in the TBA headquarters building. This July, Willie began his 65th year in banking, a true milestone. He currently works on business development out of CedarStone Bank’s Donelson Office.

The Tennessee Bankers Association’s Leaders in Banking Excellence is a celebration of exceptional bankers throughout Tennessee’s history. It is an opportunity to honor those leaders who have helped shape the Tennessee banking industry and who have excelled in banking, community service, and civic involvement. Willie has, of course, excelled in all three of those areas over his long career in banking. In fact, he was nominated for the award not only by CedarStone but also by SunTrust.

Willie McDonald’s contributions to the community are almost too numerous to recount. Among his current commitments are: serving on the board of directors of McKendrees Village Foundation, McLeroy Foundation, the Donelson-Hermitage Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Two Rivers Mansion, American Cancer Society, and the Music City Center. He is also involved with the Nashville Hotel/Motel Association, Donelson Presbyterian Church, Boy Scouts of America, Easter Seal Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, and Project PENCIL at McGavock High School. Recognition for Willie’s community service include the Donelson-Hermitage Jaycees Outstanding Young Man of the Year; the Donelson-Hermitage Chamber of Commerce Business Man of the Year (twice) and their Lifetime Achievement Award. In January 2010, Willie was named honorary “Mayor of Donelson” by the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Willie will be formally recognized by the Leaders in Banking Excellence program at a special luncheon and ceremony on August 21. Please join us in congratulating him. For more information and a list of past Leaders in Banking Excellence honorees.

DH Emerging Leaders Wine Tasting Event Scheduled for July 24

Written by CedarStone Bank on July 15, 2014. Posted in News & Events. No Comments on DH Emerging Leaders Wine Tasting Event Scheduled for July 24

On Thursday, July 24 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, the Nashville Office of CedarStone Bank will host the DH Emerging Leaders “Blind Wine Tasting Event.” Tickets are $20* and are available now; click here.

This unique event is a great networking opportunity. Here’s how it works: contestants each bring two identical bottles of wine, one for tasting and one as a reward; bottles must be at least 25 ounces. Tasting bottles are de-labeled and covered to conceal their identities. Contestants will then sample all wines and rank them on a graded scale. Once the tallies are in, the contestant who brought the WORST wine selects one bottle from the reward bottles to take home. The winner then selects half the remaining bottles, with the runner-up taking home the rest.

The Donelson Office of CedarStone Bank is at 2900 Lebanon Road; click here for map. More details are available on the event’s Facebook page or you may contact:
