<description><![CDATA[Rochdale to Merge With City National Asset Management, Creating $18 Billion Firm
 
City National's Wealth Management Group Will Surpass $60 Billionin Assets Under Management or Administration
 
LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Bank today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rochdale Investment Management, a $4.8 billion New York City-based investment firm that manages assets for affluent and high-net-worth clients and their financial advisors across the nation.
 
Rochdale will be combined with City National Asset Management to create an $18 billion investment management firm called City National Rochdale Investment Management. It will offer a wide array of equity, fixed income and non-traditional investment alternatives. The new firm, a wholly owned subsidiary of City National Bank, will operate separately as a registered investment advisor within the bank's wealth management group.
 
"This is not just an acquisition, but rather a constructive combination of two complementary companies that share the same values and value propositions," said City National Bank Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "The result is a much stronger and diversified national wealth management company with the scale and skills to do even more for its clients and colleagues and our shareholders. The outstanding portfolio management and client teams of both companies will remain in place and continue to serve their clients and advisors just as they do today, but with a broader product array, enhanced investment capabilities and a strengthened management team."
 
City National Rochdale Investment Management will be led by Rochdale's current CEO, Garrett D'Alessandro. He will report to Richard Gershen, executive vice president of City National's wealth management group. Reporting to D'Alessandro will be City National's chief investment officer Bruce Simon, who will serve in that role in the new firm.
 
"We're very excited to join forces with City National's talented team of investment professionals, all of whom share Rochdale's passion for outstanding client service and investment performance," D'Alessandro said. "Now that we will be part of one of America's most admired wealth managers and the nation's 26th largest bank, we can grow the business beyond what Rochdale could have accomplished alone. As the CEO of Rochdale, I'm especially pleased to find a partner who shares our value system and commitment to clients. This combination will provide the people of Rochdale and City National Asset Management &ndash; who have worked so hard to build these businesses &ndash; with an even more promising future."
 
The acquisition of Rochdale builds upon City National's strategy of providing investment and advisory services in three distinct client segments. City National serves ultra-high-net-worth clients primarily through Convergent Wealth Advisors. It manages institutional investments principally through Lee Munder Capital Group. Serving the company's high-net-worth and affluent investors are City National Rochdale and the corporation's five majority-owned affiliates.
 
The acquisition is expected to bring City National Corporation's total assets under management or administration to more than $60 billion. Not included in this total are nearly $18 billion held by Matthews International Capital Management, a company in which City National holds a minority stake. Matthews manages assets invested in Asia.
 
City National expects the acquisition of Rochdale to close by the end of the second quarter of this year and to be modestly accretive to earnings in 2012. Closing is subject to customary consents, including the consent of Rochdale clients.
 
City National's advisor was Berkshire Capital Securities LLC. Rochdale was advised by Sandler O'Neill &amp; Partners L.P.

<description><![CDATA[Orthopedic Group Touts Bank&rsquo;s New Innovative Mobile Device
 
LAS VEGAS, NV &ndash; City National Bank, Nevada&rsquo;s Premier Private and Business Bank&reg;, today announced that it has funded a credit facility totaling over $13.2 million to Wild West Investment Partners III, LLC.  The credit facility funded two loans that refinanced a multi-tenant office building owned by a group of orthopedic surgeons who are partners in Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine Center, one of the largest orthopedic groups in southern Nevada.  The facility is located at 1505 Wigwam Parkway in Henderson near the I-215 and Stephanie Road.
 
(For an image related to this story, go to https://www.cnb.com/PublishingImages/NV-Orthopedic.jpg.)
 
The size of the facility totals more than 71,000 square feet of leasable space.  Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine Center, LLP has occupied 25 percent of the building since expanding to Henderson in 2007.  The remaining space is occupied by other healthcare providers such as a prominent hospital group and well-known cancer treatment center.
 
&ldquo;We are very excited to be a part of the City National family of satisfied clients in Nevada, and to now have access to the numerous resources they have tailored to the healthcare industry,&rdquo; said Avi Schlesinger, chief executive officer of Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine.  &ldquo;City National&rsquo;s healthcare payment solution product is a great example of the bank&rsquo;s expertise in helping healthcare professionals become more efficient and green at the same time.&rdquo;
 
This dedicated healthcare product allows doctors, dentists or any healthcare provider to fully automate and streamline the check-in process of patients using a mobile device.  This device replaces clipboards, electronically verifies patient insurance, automates payment, increases collection of revenue, and much more.
 
&ldquo;With rising healthcare costs, City National is providing us with the innovative tools and resources we need to be more competitive and successful.  In addition to the healthcare payment solution product, we were able to obtain more favorable terms and conditions on our credit facility, while establishing a relationship with a quality bank and banking professionals.  City National is providing us with the financial solutions we need to continue to grow and expand our business,&rdquo; Schlesinger said.
 
The Henderson location is just one of two facilities Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine own and operate in southern Nevada.  The other facility is located in the Summerlin area at 2650 N. Tenaya Way.  Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine employs a total of 120 doctors, nurses and administrative staff at both locations.  For more information about Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine, visit the company&rsquo;s Website at www.nevadaorthopedic.com.
 
&ldquo;Nevada Orthopedic &amp; Spine exemplifies our healthcare business strategy and the wonderful partnerships we&rsquo;re developing with a growing number of healthcare professionals in Nevada,&rdquo; said Larry Charlton, Nevada regional executive of City National Bank.  &ldquo;The healthcare industry is one of several industries we have developed a specific set of products and services tailored to meet the needs of an ever changing and highly regulated industry.&rdquo;
 
Charlton added that Bill Oakley in the bank&rsquo;s Commercial Banking Services group, along with numerous other areas and colleagues throughout the bank, did a tremendous job staying on top of this credit deal and making sure it closed.  The deal had a lot of complexities and sophistication, which only a handful of banks in this market have the expertise and wherewithal to do, according to Charlton.
 In an effort to keep up with the changing regulations in the healthcare industry, City National has trained a number of its relationship managers in all areas of the bank to be Certified Healthcare Bankers.  This lengthy process and professional designation is highlighted on business cards and denotes that City National bankers know and understand the regulations governing this industry.  City National now has 13 colleagues in Nevada who are Certified Healthcare Bankers, with more being trained and certified all the time.

Significantly expands equipment leasing and finance capabilities
 
LOS ANGELES -- City National Bank today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire First American Equipment Finance, a privately owned, full-service mid-ticket equipment leasing company that owns and services approximately $325 million in assets.
 
Headquartered in Rochester, New York, First American Equipment Finance leases technology and office equipment nationwide. Its clients include educational institutions, hospitals and health systems, large law firms, insurance underwriters, enterprise businesses, professional service businesses and nonprofit organizations. The company employs approximately 100 people. Its lease transactions typically range between $250,000 and $3 million.
 
&ldquo;In order to expand its long-standing leasing business, City National identified First American Equipment Finance as the best company to add to its organization,&rdquo; said City National Bank Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. &ldquo;First American's outstanding management team led by Bill Verhelle, its strong reputation and client relationships, great products and marketing skills, and a similar focus on certain key industries are an ideal fit with City National.
 
&ldquo;Combining First American Equipment Finance&rsquo;s many strengths, its talented team and national reach with City National&rsquo;s lower funding costs and access to thousands of clients will enhance the capabilities of both companies to more profitably and effectively meet the equipment leasing needs of clients and more rapidly build our equipment leasing business.&rdquo;
 
First American&rsquo;s CEO, Bill Verhelle, and his management team will continue to lead the company, which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of City National Bank. Verhelle will report to the bank&rsquo;s president, Christopher Warmuth.
 
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re very pleased to have found such a great partner in City National,&rdquo; Verhelle said. &ldquo;Joining forces with the nation&rsquo;s 26th largest bank will allow us to provide clients with even better service and support. It also will give us better capital access, lower-cost funding and many of the other resources we need to continue our strong growth trajectory.&rdquo;
 
City National has been leasing equipment to business clients and municipal agencies for many years.  At March 31, 2012, the company&rsquo;s business and municipal lease portfolios together totaled $418 million.  However, City National leases other types of equipment principally to its clients in the communities it serves.
 
The all-cash transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of this year, and will be modestly accretive to earnings in 2012.
 
The Alta Group acted as a financial advisor to City National.

<title>City National Bank Awards Literacy Grants to California, Nevada and New York Educators Totaling Over $83,000</title>
<link>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-bank-awards-literacy.aspx?link_page_rss=229901</link>
<guid>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-bank-awards-literacy.aspx</guid>
<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES &ndash; City National Bank today announced that it has awarded 85 Reading is The way up&reg; grants totaling more than $83,000 to support literacy-based projects at elementary, middle and high schools in California, Nevada and New York
 
(See attached list of all grant recipients or visit www.readingisthewayup.org.)
 
Reading is The way up is the award-winning literacy initiative through which City National has donated more than 115,000 books to elementary school libraries in California, Nevada and New York, and awarded 639 teacher grants to enhance literacy totaling over $500,000 since the program&rsquo;s inception in 2002.
 
The grants ranging from $500 to $1,500 will help augment or expand literacy projects that were judged to be creative and engaging, and that would have a tangible effect on student achievement. The winning programs are expected to directly improve literacy to more than 10,000 students in 78 schools throughout California, Nevada and New York.
 
The educators receiving literacy grants were selected from among the many full-time teachers, librarians, administrators and school media specialists who submitted an online application. Applications were distributed to every school district in California&rsquo;s 11 counties where City National maintains offices, which included Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Orange County, San Bernardino, Simi Valley, and more.  In Nevada, applications were distributed to four counties where the bank has a presence, including Clark, Washoe, Carson City and Douglas.  In New York City it was distributed in Manhattan.
 
&ldquo;We are excited to award much needed funds to a number of very deserving educators throughout California, Nevada and New York as part of this year&rsquo;s annual literacy grant program,&rdquo; said Carolyn Rodriguez, vice president and manager of Reading is The way up for City National. &ldquo;These literacy grants are an investment in our future and part of our daily commitment to the communities we serve.&rdquo;
 
A few examples of projects funded include:

Knolls Elementary School in Simi Valley, CA:  Reading with Music and Art &ndash; K-6 grade teachers developed a plan to integrate music and art into their reading curriculum by using CD&rsquo;s with songs that go along with weekly literature stories.
Markham Elementary School in Oakland, CA:  Be Proud of The Skin You&rsquo;re In &ndash; The students will read &ldquo;The Skin I&rsquo;m In&rdquo; by Sharon Flake and create their own illustrated biography about the color of the &ldquo;skin they are in&rdquo; Teaching tolerance and conflict management.
R.O. Gibson Elementary in Las Vegas, NV:  Reading with Bravery and Courage &ndash; Sixth grade reading will conduct literature circles as part of the curriculum. The students will use four books that will be assigned based on reading level and ability. Throughout reading the novels, the students will focus on the overall theme of Bravery and Courage. The students will then complete a layered curriculum project, ending in a class presentation.Pinon Hills Elementary in Minden, NV:  Reading Interventions &ndash; The teacher will purchase Rigby books aimed at reaching readers who require extra support in their reading development. These specific books have repeated characters that help students develop background knowledge on the characters which in turn helps them develop deep connections from book to book.
PS 153 Adam Clayton Powell Elementary School in New York City: READy for An Adventure &ndash; Taps into the interests and curiosity of readers by expanding the classroom library and enhancing the reading environment. A selection of high-quality challenging fiction and nonfiction texts will support the students in designing their own book clubs and literature circles.

About Reading is The way up&reg;
Seeking to better the education of our future leaders, City National in April 2002 launched a multi-faceted initiative to restock the state's school library system. Since then, the award-winning program has:

Donated more than 115,000 books to Nashville, California, New York and Nevada school libraries.
Awarded over $500,000 to teachers at elementary, middle and high schools for creative literacy projects.
Awarded $10,000 to the Children&rsquo;s Defense Fund-California Urban Lights Freedom Schools program in support of after school enrichment curriculum.

<title>City National Now Accepting Applications for Literacy Grants</title>

<description><![CDATA[Grant Program Will Award Up To $75,000 to Aid Educators 
 
LOS ANGELES – City National Bank today announced that it is now accepting applications for grants to support literacy-based projects at public and private elementary, middle and high schools in California, Nevada and New York.  This is the seventh consecutive year that City National has been offering literacy grants to educators in its service area.
 
Educators interested in applying for a literacy grant can access an online application by visiting www.readingisthewayup.org/literacy.asp.  Any full-time teacher, librarian or administrator at schools in counties where City National has offices is eligible to apply. California counties include Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Ventura.  The counties in Nevada include Carson City, Clark, Douglas and Washoe, while the New York City area includes New York County.
 
Approximately 100 grants totaling up to $75,000 may be awarded.  Grants will provide up to $500 for the recipients to create, augment or expand literacy projects that are judged to be creative and engaging, and that may help improve student achievement.  Awards can be used for books, videos, CDs, DVDs, computer software or hardware, or in other ways so long as the recipient shows that the project for which funds are sought will support literacy.
 
City National’s Reading is The way up® literacy program will award the grants.  Applications will be accepted through November 30, 2011, and awardees will be notified early next year. Grant funds must be expended by December 31, 2012.
 
“This is our seventh year of offering teachers the opportunity to apply for funding that would help them develop more literacy projects in their classrooms,” said Carolyn Rodriguez, vice president and program administrator for City National.  “Literacy is one of the key building blocks to educating our children, and with all of the cutbacks in state education budgets the need for this type of grant program is paramount for teachers today.”
 
Applicants from the same school may apply individually or as part of a team.  Each team may receive up to $1,500.  Over the past six years the bank has awarded close to $500,000 in literacy grants.
 
Past grants have been used for everything from literacy computer programs to art/reading projects to field trips. In one case, an elementary school used the funds to make 20 Galileo telescopes to facilitate the use of reading, writing, math, engineering and science skills. In another, funds were used to create a Reading Fluency and Comprehension program through the use of technology.
 
For more information about the Reading is The way up Literacy Grants Program, visit www.readingisthewayup.org or send an e-mail to rwu@cnb.com.
 
About Reading is The way up®
Originally established to help improve the education of California’s future leaders, City National in April 2002 launched the multi-faceted Reading is The way up initiative to restock the state’s school library system. The program was later expanded to Nevada and New York.
 
To date, the bank has:

Donated more than 80,000 books to Nevada, California and New York school libraries.
Received the 2005 President’s Volunteer Service Award, the 2005 Corporate Philanthropy Award from the Los Angeles Public Library, the 2006 Corporate Award from the Getty House Foundation, and honored as the 2007 Corporate Visionary Partner by The Wonder of Reading, and the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Corporate Citizen Award. 

The bank also has created the Reading is The way up Fund, a 501(c)(3) administered by the California Community Foundation, as a funding resource to purchase books for school libraries in California. For more information, visit www.readingisthewayup.org.

<title>City National Bank Has No Monthly Debit Card Fee</title>
<link>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-bank-has-no-monthly-debit-fee.aspx?link_page_rss=217272</link>
<guid>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-bank-has-no-monthly-debit-fee.aspx</guid>
<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES – In the wake of fee increases by some of the nation’s largest banks, City National Bank today announced that it is not imposing monthly debit card charges upon its clients.
 
“Given its fundamental focus on its clients and communities, City National believes that the right thing to do for its clients in this economic and political environment is to absorb the significant added costs that have been unfairly imposed on all banks by the Durbin Amendment,”  said Chairman and CEO Russell Goldsmith. “Since, regrettably, that new law does not require any benefit for consumers, we believe it is unfair to burden our clients with a new charge.”
 
The Durbin Amendment was part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation that was enacted in January of this year. It substantially reduces the “swipe fee” issuers receive from merchants for each debit card transaction.
 
In addition to providing its clients with debit cards at no monthly charge, City National has expanded its “Platinum Checking” account to give clients free access to virtually any ATM in the country. On October 1, the bank started crediting “Platinum Checking” account holders for all fees charged by other ATM operators in the United States. This premium account requires an average daily balance of $3,500.

<description><![CDATA[Donation Funds After School Enrichment Programs for Low-Income At-Risk Students
 
LOS ANGELES, CA &ndash; City National Bank today announced that through its Reading is The way up&reg; literacy program it has donated $10,000 to the Children&rsquo;s Defense Fund-California (CDF-CA) Urban Lights Freedom Schools&reg; program.  This donation will provide much needed support for CDF-CA&rsquo;s after school enrichment program for students in the Watts, Lynwood and Compton areas on the Southside of Los Angeles.

                                                              http://www.cnb.com/images/photos/cdf-ca-blue.jpg.)
 
The CDF grew out of the Civil Rights Movement under the leadership of Marian Wright Edelman, who was the first black women admitted to the Mississippi Bar.  In 1968, she moved to Washington, D.C., as counsel for the Poor People&rsquo;s Campaign that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began organizing before his death.  In 1969, Edelman began the Washington Research Project, a public interest law firm that monitored federal programs for low-income families, and out of this initiative she founded CDF in 1973.
 
The CDF Freedom Schools program provides summer and after school enrichment that helps children develop a love of reading, increases the self-esteem, and generates more positive attitudes toward learning.  Children are taught using a model curriculum that supports children and families around five essential components:  high quality academic enrichment; parent and family involvement; civic engagement and social action; intergenerational leadership development; nutrition, health and mental health.
 
&ldquo;City National&rsquo;s generous support of the Urban Lights CDF Freedom Schools program will help us reach a greater number of students and families who could benefit from our after school enrichment program,&rdquo; said Kim Brettschneider, California State Coordinator for CDF-CA.  &ldquo;With all of the cutbacks in private, state and federal funding, support from companies like City National is paramount to the success of our programs moving forward.&rdquo;
 
Since its inception, CDF has challenged the United States to raise its standards by improving policies and programs for children.  Over the past 35 years, CDF has become known for careful research on children&rsquo;s survival, protection, and development in all racial and income groups and for independent analyses of how federal and state policies affect children, their families and their communities.
 
&ldquo;We are very proud of our public-private partnerships and the opportunity to join with the Children&rsquo;s Defense Fund in support of their wonderful Urban Lights CDF Freedom Schools program,&rdquo; said Carolyn Rodriguez, vice president and manager of Reading is The way up for City National.  &ldquo;Education and literacy are essential ingredients to the success of our children&rsquo;s future and our Reading is The way up literacy program is a perfect fit for CDF&rsquo;s after school enrichment programs.&rdquo;
 
Over 90,000 students have participated in CDF&rsquo;s Freedom Schools program since it began in 1995.  The program works very hard to ensure that every child is equipped with the necessary skills to succeed in life.  For more information about this summer and after school enrichment program, go to www.cdfca.org.
 
City National contributes financial, in-kind and volunteer assistance to nonprofit institutions and organizations that enhance the quality of life and promote public interest where the company conducts its business.  The four main areas of the bank&rsquo;s philanthropic outreach include education, health and human services, community development, and arts and culture.
 
About Reading is The way up&reg;
Originally established to help improve the education of California&rsquo;s future leaders, City National in April 2002 launched the multi-faceted Reading is The way up initiative to restock the state&rsquo;s school library system. The program was expanded into Nevada following the 2007 completion of City National&rsquo;s merger with Business Bank of Nevada.
 
To date, the bank has:

Contributed over $2 million to support education programs throughout the bank.
Donated more than 80,000 books to California, Nevada and New York school libraries.
Awarded nearly $500,000 to teachers in elementary, middle and high schools in California, Nevada and New York for creative literacy projects.
Received the 2005 President&rsquo;s Volunteer Service Award, the 2005 Corporate Philanthropy Award from the Los Angeles Public Library, the 2006 Corporate Award from the Getty House Foundation, and honored as the 2007 Corporate Visionary Partner by The Wonder of Reading, and the Hugh O&rsquo;Brien Youth Leadership Corporate Citizen Award.

 
The bank also has created the Reading is The way up Fund, a 501(c)(3) administered by the California Community Foundation, as a funding resource to purchase books for school libraries in California, Nevada and New York.  For more information, visit www.readingisthewayup.org.

<title>City National Helps Local Teachers and Students with Computer and Office Supply Donations Totaling Over $25,000</title>
<link>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-computer-donation.aspx?link_page_rss=214496</link>
<guid>http://newsroom.cnb.com/pr/cnb/city-national-computer-donation.aspx</guid>
<description><![CDATA[LAS VEGAS, NV &ndash; City National Bank, Nevada&rsquo;s Premier Private and Business Bank&reg;, today announced that it has partnered with Computers For Kids, Inc., and Teacher EXCHANGE&trade; to place computers and school supplies in the hands of those teachers and students who need a helping hand.  The bank recently donated more than $25,000 in computers and office supplies it no longer needed when it acquired Nevada Commerce Bank earlier this year.

                                                       http://www.cnb.com/images/photos/computers-for-kids-2.jpg

Computer For Kids is a nonprofit organization that receives donated computers from individuals and businesses, then refurbishes and licenses them for distribution to K-12 students for their home use.  The organization, which was formed in 2002 in Boise, Idaho, expanded into the Las Vegas area in 2010.
 
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s paramount in today&rsquo;s digital age that students have access to computers in their home, and with City National&rsquo;s generosity we&rsquo;ll be able to increase our outreach in placing more computers in the homes of students throughout the Clark County School District,&rdquo; said Tamara Gardner, vice president and program coordinator for Computers For Kids. &ldquo;Reusing, reducing and recycling are key components of our program that has long-reaching effects benefiting the community and the environment.&rdquo;
 
The computer and office equipment the bank donated to Computers For Kids included numerous hard drives, monitors, keyboards, laptops, docking stations, scanners, routers, printers, fax machines, modems, server racks, a host of computer accessories, and much more.
 
In 2002, The Public Education Foundation created a green initiative dedicated to bringing resources to public classrooms and helping the environment.  Since then, the Teacher EXCHANGE has provided thousands of Clark County School District teachers with reusable, recycled and gently used materials, supplies and equipment for use in the classrooms.
 
The Teacher EXCHANGE is a re-use and recycle resource center for Clark County School District teachers offering learning tools to enhance projects and curriculum.  Through the power of public-private partnerships, the Teacher EXCHANGE has collected and recycled more than one million pounds of electronic hardware, paper and other materials since its inception that would have been disposed of in local landfills.
 
&ldquo;The success of our program is a direct result of caring companies like City National that recognize the importance of education and helping our teachers succeed in the classroom,&rdquo; said Judi Steele, president of The Public Education Foundation.  &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s economic challenges are making it more and more difficult for teachers to continue to spend their own income on supplies for the classroom, so City National&rsquo;s donation makes a significant difference in our public schools.&rdquo;
 
Donations to the Teacher EXCHANGE help save each teacher an average of $1,600 he or she would typically spend out of his or her own pocket on classroom materials each year.  The Public Education Foundation recognizes that community partnerships are essential to impact student&rsquo;s performance and achievement while improving our environment.
 
The office supplies the bank donated to the Teacher EXCHANGE included thousands of pens, pencils, paper, file folders, erasers, glue sticks, paper clips, notepads, calculators, desk organizers, and much more.
 
&ldquo;It is a real privilege to partner with these two wonderful nonprofit organizations and to support them in the amazing work they&rsquo;re doing in our community,&rdquo; said Walaya Rivera, educational program specialist for City National.  &ldquo;In today&rsquo;s high-tech fast pace world it&rsquo;s critical that every student and family have access to computers in their home.  It&rsquo;s also essential that teachers have the instructional resources they need to be successful.&rdquo;
 
City National contributes financial, in-kind and volunteer assistance to nonprofit institutions and organizations that enhance the quality of life and promote public interest where the company conducts its business.  The four main areas of the bank&rsquo;s philanthropic outreach include education, health and human services, community development, and arts and culture.
 
About Computers For Kids
 
Since 2002, Computers For Kids (CFK) has distributed over 19,000 computers and recycled over 1,100 tons of computers, monitors, and computer equipment to date. Donations of computer equipment and software programs for CFK's program are received from individuals, schools and government agencies. Our donation program helps to address the growing problem of older computer systems being discarded to the landfill or shelved and unused, taking up warehouse space. It also provides a tax credit opportunity for the donors.  For more information about CFK, go to cfk@cfkidaho.com.

<description><![CDATA[Program makes it easier for small businesses to borrow
 
LOS ANGELES &ndash; In an effort to make it easier and less expensive for small businesses to borrow, City National Bank, California&rsquo;s Premier Private and Business Bank&reg;, today announced that it will waive up to $3,000 in closing costs on first trust deed loans it makes under the Small Business Administration 504 Loan Program and also waive the bank&rsquo;s loan origination fees when new funds are deposited in a business checking account.
 
The SBA 504 program allows small business owners to borrow so they can refinance, renovate or purchase their commercial property. Owners can take advantage of record low interest rates to finance up to 90% of their property&rsquo;s value.
 
City National is offering:

To pay up to $3,000 for the appraisal and environmental survey fees of the loan closing costs.
A waiver of City National Bank&rsquo;s loan origination fees when $50,000 or more in new funds is in a City National business checking account at loan closing. 

To qualify for the savings, borrowers must submit their loan applications by December 31, 2011.
 
&ldquo;Owning commercial real estate can add value to your business and can also provide tax benefits,&rdquo; said Jim Wullschleger, senior vice president and director of business banking. &ldquo;We are committed to helping entrepreneurs get the financing they need to expand and grow. Clients can lock in occupancy costs for the long term with financing tailored to their needs.&rdquo;
 
During the first six months of this year, City National&rsquo;s loans to small businesses were up 100%, and its SBA loans increased 74% from the same time last year.
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized that the SBA 504 Program could be used for owner-occupied commercial refinancing; previously the program could not be used for refinancings. This authorization for refinancings is slated to expire in September 2012.
 
&ldquo;Access to credit is key to the success of any small business,&rdquo; said Wullschleger. &ldquo;These are the companies that will help our economy recover and create jobs.&rdquo;
 
Small Business Banking at City National
 
City National, a SBA Preferred Lender, also offers conventional loans and lines of credit; business deposit and treasury management services; international banking and foreign exchange; and check and Visa&reg; commercial credit cards.
 
In 2011, City National Bank won 10 excellence awards for business banking from Greenwich Associates, a leading global financial services research and consulting firm. This was the sixth consecutive year that City National has been recognized for its performance serving the financial needs of growing companies.
