DeKALB STATE BANK

Tucker, Georgia

Originally Constructed in 1990, DeKalb State has become an often imitated building at the offices of Foreman Seeley Fountain.  This building has taken many plan forms and variations, but it has been used successfully in Thomson, Ashburn, Richmond Hills, Augusta, St. Mary's, Cordele, Madison and currently in Baxley.

The timeless design is soundly based in the historic architecture of Williamsburg.  Our attention to correct proportions and details has made this a very popular look for de novo banks across the state.

Good planning is good stewardship. Success in any endeavor requires careful preparation and planning. Without proper planning and preparation, failure is almost guaranteed.

Anyone who has ever undertaken a complex task already has learned the importance of careful planning. Churches need to plan for their ministries and for the facility needs which will serve these ministries.

In sports we see many examples of the need to plan. Often this involves a "game plan." A game plan is simply a series of steps which the team must follow in order to be able to accomplish its goal of winning the game. In fact, most winning teams are able to win, because they plan to win. Losing teams are often the team that had no game plan, or a poor plan at best. Failing to plan to win is the same as planning to lose. Or put another way, "Failing to plan is planning to fail."

Good planning conserves resources, prevents wasted effort, and saves time and money. Good planning prevents small problems from becoming big problems.
