Submitted Community National Bank launched their New Year, New Start Campaign again this year by supporting the Babies Best Start Program. Babies Best Start provides diapers, wipes, lotion, soap, diaper rash ointment, blankets, pacifiers, fingernail clippers, outlet covers, thermometers, nursing supplies, clothing sizes newborn – nine months – and infant towels to families in need, said Krista Stallbaumer, Program Coordinator at Nemaha Valley Community Hospital. “We appreciate the Seneca and Sabetha communities for supporting this program and for their gener- ous donations,” Stallbaumer said. “Many people contributed to help Community National Bank make this donation possible. It will take both communities efforts to maintain the program county wide. I cannot express how much I appreciate Community National Bank’s efforts to help our communities.” Between the Seneca and Sabetha locations, over 350 items were donated this year to Babies Best Start. Stallbaumer was very pleased with this year’s donations.
