BANK HELPS CHAMBER

The Centura Bank team claimed first place in the first reporting session of the Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce's annual membership drive at the Promenade.

The bank sold $3,625 in memberships during the drive's first week. Total sales for all teams were $6,510, or 29 new members. Top salesperson to date is Jo Ann Willis of the Manteo branch, with $1,285 in membership sales.

The chamber's membership drive will continue through Sept. 15, with 31 volunteer sales associates inviting non-members of the organization to join the chamber. The goal is $25,000.
