Summary

House Resolution 20 (HR20) honors the Bank of Erath for its significant achievement of reaching its one hundredth anniversary. The resolution acknowledges the bank's historical contributions to the local community in Vermilion Parish and its role as a longstanding financial institution. It highlights the bank's commitment to serving customers and maintaining a reputation as the 'friendly hometown bank'.

Contention
