If there’s one thing Heritage Foundation supporters can all appreciate, it’s history, and a local travel club is going to be enjoying history around the world in 2019. Heritage Foundation sponsor Franklin Synergy Bank has a checking account for friends who are 50 and better, but the Pineapple Gold Club is more than just an account – it’s an opportunity to explore some magnificent destinations.
Franklin Synergy Bank is a great supporter of the Heritage Foundation, and the bank is a true believer in the local community. Founded in November 2007 by a group of veteran Williamson County bankers, Franklin Synergy Bank provides a full range of banking and related financial services with a focus on service to small businesses, corporate entities, local governments and individuals. Headquartered in downtown Franklin, TN, Franklin Synergy currently operates through 15 branches and one loan production office in the growing Williamson, Rutherford and Davidson Counties. As the bank continues to grow, it remains focused on the people and communities it serves with community banks in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Nolensville and Spring Hill.
Franklin Synergy’s mission is to build a legacy company by creating shareholder value, cultivating strong customer relationships and fostering an extraordinary team of directors, officers and employees.
One of those extraordinary employees is Beverly Dinsdale, Vice President, Club Travel and Events Director. Beverly has worked her entire career thus far in banking, but it wasn’t until the last few years that she truly found her calling with the Pineapple Gold Club. She said, “It isn’t just an account to me – it’s friendships.” Beverly was heartfelt when describing the wonderful bonds she’s formed over the years with the club members and the magnificent places they’ve enjoyed together.
She went on to describe the trips they have planned for 2019 – and they are as diverse as they are seemingly wonderful:
