Community Bank donates to James Kiernan Memorial Scholarship Fund

Irish Eyes Restaurant held its James Kiernan Memorial Scholarship Fund event Feb. 20.

Community Bank Delaware President Jack Riddle attended to present a donation of $1,500. “It is an honor to present a check to the James Kiernan Memorial Scholarship Fund. As co-founder and director of Community Bank Delaware, Jim played a key role in giving back to our community,” said Riddle.

"Jim's daughter Kathy Newcomb is as compassionate as her father. As director and marketing chair of Community Bank Delaware, she ensures community loyalty for those in need within our area. Jim would be proud to know his daughters are carrying on his reputation for kindness and generosity,” he said.

The James Kiernan Scholarship will benefit students from Cape Henlopen High School.

Kiernan was the original owner of Irish Eyes. His wife and four daughters started this scholarship to keep his name ever present in a charitable way. To contribute, contact Maryellen Kiernan at mare@irisheyespub.com.
