The contributions were made through CSB’s Community Commitment, an employee-funded, bank-

“Each year, I am proud of our team for demonstrating our core values of community, commitment, and
character through their generosity and service,” said Stephen R. Stone, CSB’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “Their commitment to giving both time and resources each year reflects who we are
