How much fun do we have at North Shore Bank? So much fun that we’ve got another week of shenanigans for you! Enjoy these photos of employees getting creative, silly, or downright goofy from over the years.
The theme for this branch sales kickoff meeting — which took place in 1998 or ’99 — was “Sales Roundup,” recalls process risk analyst Ron Olson. “Branch managers divided up into groups and had to come up with a group name and write and perform a song around our theme,” he says. “Our group name was Ron and His Royettes. Since I’m not a singer, we wrote some cowboy poetry, which I recited with the Royettes softly singing ‘Happy Trails’ in the background.”
“I remember that day well!” Allouez area manager Mickey Adams, pictured at far left, says, dating it back to around 2000, when the branch moved to St. Joseph Street and she was head teller. “This was when we would still dress up for Halloween. All the girls were angels, and Rob Pecard — a longtime employee who passed away — was the devil.”
In 2015, his colleagues at Corporate surprised then-VP Darrel Eisenhardt with masks of his own youthful visage for his 40th anniversary with the bank. “We had the masks to show how young Darrel was when he first started,” says mail services supervisor Colleen Moore, pictured at left. BSA/AML lead Stephanie Hallgren, Nicole Curtis, and SVP retail banking Sue Doyle are shown here too.
“The branch held a Kentucky Derby event for select investment customers and investment prospects,” VP branch sales Craig Witz says of this photo from Fox Point in 2012. “There were Derby-themed treats and the chance to mingle in Derby attire.” Also seen here are retirement program services manager Becky Reinhardt and investment consultant Jeff Eichel.
There was more Kentucky Derby fun in 2017, when Corporate employees raised over $7,000 for Milwaukee’s United Performing Arts Fund. The mint juleps served by building engineer Jeff Dolezal were nonalcoholic, notes receptionist Nancy Hanson, pictured with senior deposit operations specialist Janet Russell.
And Pewaukee staffers got dressed up in 2011 for a very gute Nacht as part of the town’s Heart of Europe tour. “Each business picked a country, and the branch was Germany,” remembers Brookfield Capitol teller supervisor Rosanne Pulvermacher, pictured at center.
