August 6-9 Grand Opening of HomeBanc's New Lakewood Ranch Bank to Include
Special Giveaway, Celebrity Appearance and Bank Offer
Chance to win Adams Golf clubs and bag, meet LPGA player Brittany Lincicome on

TAMPA, Fla., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The "distinctive personal banking" of
HomeBanc will be showcased, along with an array of special activities,
giveaways, bank offers and an appearance from one of the world's best female
golfers, at the Grand Opening of its new bank in Lakewood Ranch at 6230
University Parkway.
The four-day celebration kicks off on Wednesday, August 6, from 5-8 p.m.,
when LPGA player Brittany Lincicome, who wears the HomeBanc logo when she
competes on the LPGA Tour, will pose for photographs and sign autographs for
those attending. HomeBanc that evening will host the 300-member Lakewood
Ranch Business Alliance, an advocacy organization committed to the
unification, enrichment and advancement of the community. Guests will enjoy
hors d'oeuvres and refreshments, and live music will help further reinforce
the special appeal of the evening.
Festivities continue each day through Saturday, August 9 from 9 a.m.-Noon,
which are the bank's normal hours of operation every Saturday. Everyone is
invited to attend the open-house style celebration, which will include free
breakfast and refreshments. Children will join in the fun with face-painting,
balloons and other activities.
An additional Grand Opening attraction includes a giveaway of two sets of
Adams Golf clubs and bags (one men's and one women's) awarded in a blind draw
on Saturday, August 9. The golf bags will be autographed by Lincicome, who is
sponsored by Adams Golf and plays its clubs on tour.
Perhaps most appealing though to many attendees will be HomeBanc providing
the first $50 in any new checking account opened, and awarding free $50 gas
gift cards for those referring someone who opens up a checking account with
the bank.
"We expect the Grand Opening to be very special," said HomeBanc's
Community Bank President Rich Powers, who has 25 years of experience in the
banking industry. "The Lakewood Ranch bank has been open for the past several
weeks and has already proved to be a big hit in the community. The Grand
Opening provides an opportunity for anyone interested in meeting our people
and checking out our new bank to stop in for some fun, food and refreshments.
And, we hope a good percentage of those will want to become HomeBanc
customers."
Tammy Wilson, HomeBanc Vice President and Retail Branch Manager at
Lakewood Ranch, said, "We are excited to be hosting the Lakewood Ranch
Business Alliance and expect a very good turnout from its membership. We know
those members and others from the community will enjoy meeting Brittany
Lincicome, who is not only a world-class golf professional but also is a
tremendously pleasant person and a great representative of HomeBanc."
