Mortgage loan officer Greg Kroll and teller Razalyn Brock help a long line of customers at East.

North Shore Bank’s Community Shredding Day on May 5 was a popular event across our branches.

“The nice weather made it appealing for customers and neighbors to stop by with the documents for shredding,” said Kate Knox, AVP of marketing communications. “We are pleased that so many people were interested in taking this step to help prevent identity theft.”

SVP Margaret Capper’s kids Emily and Sam help with shredding at Brookfield Square. Margaret is behind them, helping a ProShred employee.

Business relationship managers Cheri Cicona-Trudell and Jeremy Schmidt help direct traffic at Brookfield Square.

This was the bank’s 12th annual Community Shredding Day, and Kate credits employees’ excellent teamwork with making it a success. “Not only did branch staff help people stopping by with items, but we also had great help from other areas of the bank, including Business Banking, Mortgage, and others,” she said.

Cars at Brookfield Square wove around the parking lot, waiting for their turn.

At East/Shorewood’s event, Girl Scouts and Shorewood High Key Club members raised funds for their organizations, too.

No exact numbers yet on how many tons of materials we shredded, but we’ll report that information when we have it.
