Bank launches new Investment Services website
Last week, the bank launched a new North Shore Investment Services website. The site features new articles and videos. This compliance-approved content will be updated monthly.
The site also has a mobile-responsive design, meaning it looks nice and is easy to use whether you’re looking at it on a computer, a phone, or a tablet. Along with the new content, the site includes lead-generation forms that make it easy for visitors to submit questions to the bank.
You can check out the new site at northshoreinvestmentservices.com. There’s also a link directly from the North Shore Bank home page:
Thank you to product and channel manager Karen DeGarmo for passing along this information. •••

McHenry enjoys flowers on Employee Appreciation Day
At McHenry: assistant branch manager–sales Kerri Hoehn, teller Vicki Blasy, Dawn, and teller April Kress.
McHenry celebrated Employee Appreciation Day on March 3, with flowers, cookies, and lunch. “It really made for a nice day,” reported assistant branch manager–operations and organizer Dawn Conley. She noted, “We are together so much — sometimes more than we are with our spouses or children.”
The branch also decided that having fresh flowers every day would be “awesome.”
“Customers noticed the fresh flowers,” Dawn said, “and hopefully they passed that cheerful mood on.” •••

North Shore Shape Up: Discount on Weight Watchers
We have reached the middle of our current Weight Watchers At Work Meeting series, and the program has another special for employees who want to continue to make healthy changes and renew their membership, or anyone who wants to join as a new member.
Refer someone else and get these wineglasses! (Wine not included.)
The “Deal Days” discount is offered March 10 through March 17. If you renew or join during Deal Days, you will pay only $132.60 for the next 12-week Weight Watchers At Work session — a 15 percent discount off the regular price of $156. Payroll deduction is available.
If you sign up after Deal Days, you will have to pay the regular price of $156.
The next session begins April 14. If you are at a branch, you may sign up through the Corporate At Work group and attend a Weight Watchers meeting in your area, at your convenience. If you are at Corporate, you may attend a free meeting on March 10 or 17 at 11 a.m. in the Lower Level Lounge to learn more. Contact Nancy Hanson at nhanson@northshorebank.com for more information.
