The Trust Co. is thrilled that the Watson's were warmly welcomed into their new home!  Trust Co. employees wear many hats, and this past week Paul Jaeger, Susanne Hauk, and Susan Williams all donned hard hats as they worked some long days on the construction site. (For Susanne and Susan this was the second home build for them in the past 90 days - they participated in Habitat for Humanity's "Women Build" in October).  Paul Jaeger has worked with The Restoration House almost since its founding, and he is currently Treasurer on their Board of Directors.  Additionally, both Paul and his wife Phoebe have served as mentors to Restoration House families.

One of the ways The Trust Co. is celebrating our 25th anniversary is by giving back: so we are honored to announce that our first of five $5,000 donations during 2012 to the community is going towards the Extreme Makeover Knoxville Build fund.  Congratulations to the Watson's and The Restoration House...and a big thank you to the Knoxville community and all of the sponsors for this "extreme" effort!
