ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Entries are now being accepted for the first
annual Southeast
Community Bank "GIVE" Awards. The awards will recognize community banks

LLP (PKM) is hosting the awards, with sponsorship assistance from law
firm Bryan Cave Powell Goldstein,
FIG Partners LLC as well

locally-owned and operated financial institutions for what they do to
strengthen the surrounding community," remarked PKM partner Sal Inserra.

Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee. Community banks
that have implemented at least one new customer service initiative since
