A MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
The holidays are here! Between traveling, shopping, and spending time
with loved ones, it’s a busy and exciting time of year. With all of that
excitement comes another change in season. Temperatures are dropping,
our evenings are beginning a little earlier, and soon the snow will greet us
once again. It’s easy to stay inside and hibernate until spring, but I hope
you bundle up and get out to enjoy the season with us!
Whether it’s a local Health Fair this winter, or a getaway to tropical Costa
Rica this spring, I hope you have a chance to participate in the excellent
adventures we have planned for 2016!
This quarter, I focused on education with Online Banking training. One
of our expert bankers will assist you with the process of signing up for
Online Banking and learning about the convenient features it has to offer.
No more trips to the post office for stamps in the cold! We have trip
previews and coin appraisal events scheduled as well. We will round out
the quarter with a cooking class, a little hands on dish garden, “A Night to
Remember” musical, and a Cubs game! Think: Spring. I hope you can join
us on one or more of these exciting adventures.
Until our next Adventure,
