Spotlight: 20th Service Anniversary
Staff Accountant Sherri Kroening marks 20 years with North Shore Bank this week. As the mother of a son with special needs, she says the bank’s flexibility has kept her here, along with the strong friendships she’s built and the constant variety the job offers. “My life is crazy at home — I get absolutely no sleep, so I don’t want to be bored. I literally would fall asleep.”

North Shore Shape Up: Smoothie Challenge results
Kristal Pelland, Coral Jordan, and Josie Schneider got set for the Smoothie Challenge with Lynn Jack (second from left) during her delicious visit to the Grafton branch.
Wellness Coordinator Lynn Jack organized a Smoothie Challenge last month, to kick-start employees’ interest in blending and consuming more ultra-healthy — and ultra-tasty — fruits and veggies. The five challenge winners each got two tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers’ home game against the St. Louis Cardinals this Friday night. Find out who the winners were and why more smoothies could be good for your mental health as well as your body.
