NORTH DALLAS BANK & TRUST CO. TO THE RESCUE!

by Debra Saxon - Owner, Celebration Magazine
rowing up, I was a banker's daughter. My father, Jack,
headed up small banks in Houston, Texas and, one of my
Gfondest memories of him was when he would come home
after work and tell me the stories of the small businesses and the
owners he helped that day.
I remember those conversations fondly because my father was a part
of building dreams...including restaurants, video stores, women's
clothing shops, and service businesses. He helped our community
grow by supporting the foundation - the small business owner.
Starting and growing a small business is risky. In the blink of an
eye, a successful small business can turn from being manageable
and profitable to well; you know the story.
Six years ago, in 2014, Celebration Magazine began working with
North Dallas Bank, to advertise the bank in our publication. One of
their checking accounts, by chance, was called the Celebration Club
Checking (not affiliated with Celebration Magazine) and it just so
happened to be specifically for seniors....we were the perfect fit to
get the word out.
Over the years, I talked about moving Celebration's banking to
North Dallas Bank, and since I was a small banker's daughter, I
knew the value of working with a small bank first-hand. But, as
you know, things happen; life gets busy, and the thought of moving
banks seemed so massive that I kept putting it off.
Then two months ago, the world shut down.
When the Payroll Protection Program was announced, I knew that Celebration Club Checking
we needed to apply for this program as the funding would help keep A Checking Account
