A team from the bank’s Grafton and Mequon branches placed second at the Spell Wars spelling bee fundraiser on September 7.

Grafton teller supervisor Megan Butler’s husband Tyler and Mequon tellers Tyler Quinn and Doug Tuhro showed off their spelling ability in front of an audience of about 250 people at the second annual fundraiser for the Adult Literacy Center of Ozaukee County. Fifteen teams participated, so this was quite an achievement.

“It was indeed a respectable second place,” Doug affirms. “The final round was a tiring struggle for our opponents — like two mighty, ironclad warships, we blasted away at each other, the outcome not clear until the very end. After the smoke had cleared and our foes emerged victorious, they proved themselves to be as gracious as they were worthy.”
