Here’s this week’s update on our Bank on Kindness campaign to spread happiness and goodwill in our communities.
The Grafton branch’s “Share the Love” food drive for Family Sharing of Ozaukee County runs through February 28 and included a curbside collection last Saturday, February 13.
“We had the whole staff here to take turns in the cold weather,” branch manager Jennifer Mantooth said. “It was very cold, with the windchill below zero, but our hearts were warm and our spirits high.”
North Shore Bank’s food pantry donation-matching campaign continues throughout the month. Donations can be made online at give.mastercard.com/p/northshorebank, and will be matched by the bank, up to $500 per pantry. You can also get a link to donate by texting Kindness to 77948. Please feel free to share information about the donation drive via email, text, and social media, to help feed hungry Wisconsinites. •••

Matthew’s roses.
Muskego personal banker Matthew Cieslak brought some Valentine’s Day smiles to the branch when he showed up to work with roses. “Definitely made for a happy Friday,” branch manager Stephanie Bluemel reported.
A very merry, bear-y tree.
The branch also boasted a Valentine’s Day tree this year. “With everything going on in the world, we thought we’d have a little fun,” Stephanie said. “The tree is a big hit and great conversation starter with customers. We’ve even had a few say they are doing the same thing at home!” •••
Mindful Minute: Train yourself to focus on the positive
Sometimes it can really be difficult to find the strength to deal with challenges. We need to uncover and grow the positive parts of ourselves, and make it a point to pay attention to experiences that bring us happiness. Too often we focus on what is wrong with us or unpleasant events. We need to make a concerted effort to include the positive in our awareness. Pat Ingelse has a meditation to help with that!
