Suamico groundbreaking: On Sep 24, North Shore Bank broke ground on its newest branch, at 1838 Cardinal Lane in Suamico. The 1,750-square-foot branch will open to the public in spring 2016, and will feature an updated design concept and new technology.
Heart walk: On Sep 20, four teams from North Shore Bank took part in the Milwaukee Heart & Stroke Walk, raising almost $6,300 for the American Heart Association. See the walkers in action here!
Super Saturday: Union Grove was a sponsor of the town’s Super Saturday event on Sep 12, which featured booths and activities from local businesses, nonprofits, and craft vendors. The bank provided marketing materials, and Branch Manager Amy Sweet helped out on the event committee. “There was a constant stream of people walking up and down Main Street — most of whom were carrying North Shore Bank shopping bags!” Amy reports. Teller Supervisor Tiffany Duck, MLO Pam Lanting, and Personal Banker Christine Nielsen helped out, and customer Trevor Ludwin (whose aunt Donna Brietchaft works in the CSC) played Seymour Savings.
