                 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF DELTA TRUST BANK

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, this year marks the 100th 
anniversary of a landmark institution in my home State of Arkansas. On 
February 1, Delta Trust & Bank will celebrate 100 years of service in 
our State. In honor of this milestone, the towns of Parkdale, Hamburg, 
Wilmot, Little Rock, and Bella Vista will proclaim Monday, February 1, 
as Delta Trust Day. At a time when many banks across our Nation are 
struggling, Delta Trust represents a long history of financial strength 
and security in Arkansas.
  Founded as The Bank of Parkdale in 1910, Delta Trust's origins lie in 
the small town of Parkdale in Southern Arkansas. Parkdale is similar in 
many ways to my hometown of Helena, where faith, community, and family 
are an integral part of rural life. These values have stayed with Delta 
Trust throughout its 100-year history.
  Delta Trust touches every corner of our State, with branches in 
northwest Arkansas in Bella Vista and Fayetteville; in central Arkansas 
in the Little Rock neighborhoods of Hillcrest, Chenal, and Walton 
Heights; and in the southeast part of the state in Parkdale, Hamburg, 
Eudora, and Wilmot.
  Delta Trust's assets are impressive at $298 million. But this 
institution is about much more than assets or the bottom line. Delta 
Trust is known for its commitment to community service, not to mention 
its top-notch customer service. Integrity, privacy, and intelligent 
advice are the trademarks of Delta Trust. Through its Women's Advisory 
Council, Delta Trust has committed to serving the banking needs of 
women, their families, and their businesses.
  Mr. President, I salute the partners, associates, and employees of 
Delta Trust for their dedication to serving the people of Arkansas. I 
send my best wishes for the next 100 years of service to 
Arkansans.
