Here’s news from our branch offices.

Burlington

Robin and her fabulous birthday cup.

Burlington branch manager Robin Callis’s team surprised her with a birthday celebration on December 18. “My birthday is the following week, but I had scheduled PTO,” she said. Robin was delighted by one present in particular: “Amongst the many gifts and balloons was this very special thermal cup. It reads ‘Is it in R-1? Put it in R-1!.’ I’m thinking that this might be something I say quite often! My DM would be proud!” Happy birthday, Robin!

Green Bay West

Howard-Suamico universal banker Brooke Hillsberg dropped off gifts at Green Bay West with her sister and nephew.

Green Bay West puts up a Giving Tree every winter holiday season, partnering with local organization Heaven’s Touch to collect gifts for single mothers and their children in the community. This year, the branch took in toys and clothing for 32 kids, from ages 3 months up to 18 years old. “We love doing it every year, and our customers look forward to it as well,” assistant branch manager Hali Thompson said.

Hali and Shanna, not separated at birth.

Hali also sent in a pic of herself and universal banker Shanna Krause, after they inadvertently showed up at work as twins last month. “It was too funny not to document and share!” she said.

Green Bay East

Green Bay East, spruced up by the evergreen.

And Green Bay East universal banker Kari Tuyls sent in a photo of that branch’s Christmas tree too. “We wanted to bring the holiday cheer by decorating a tree,” Kari said. “We spruced up the space where we used to serve coffee since we are no longer able to, due to COVID. We each brought our own ornament to hang on the tree, in addition to some that we received from a customer as a gift. We also displayed greeting cards we received from customers.”
