As in 2018, North Shore Bank once again fielded a team for the Adult Literacy Center of Ozaukee County’s adult spelling bee fundraiser.

This year’s third annual “Spellers of Oz” event featured a Wizard of Oz theme, along with dinner, drinks, and a silent auction. Pictured above, our team competed under the name “There’s No Place Like North Shore Bank” and consisted of seasoned veteran speller Mequon teller Doug Tuhro, personal banker David Panitzke, and Grafton personal banker Coral Jordan.

Though the results didn’t match last year’s, when the NSB team placed second, the bee was still worthwhile. “We had fun and it is a great cause,” David said, “but it’s a good thing we work in numbers.”
