Part of Virginia Partners Bank's mission is to put time and treasure back into the community.  As Fredericksburg's only locally owned and managed bank, they have committed to helping keep the river healthy and scenic.  Part of that commitment is the creation of Friends of the Rappahannock affinity accounts.  Any community member who opens a checking, checking with interest, or savings account can opt into an affinity account.   The bank will make a donation to FOR based on the average balance in all the affinity accounts. No money will come from your account. It's great for the community and great for the river!  If you are interested, please contact Judy Nave at 540-899-0005 or jnave@vapartnersbank.com.
