Thanks for your feedback, and happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who took the time to answer our survey last month. I’ve been going through the responses and am really happy and grateful for all of your thoughtful comments and feedback. We’ll be implementing (or reimplementing, in some cases) many of your suggestions in the near future. Thank you so much for reading Shorelines and for all of your help with it. Hope you’re all wearing green and no one pinches you today! ☺🍀 —Josh, editor •••

P.S. If you haven’t taken the survey and would still like to, please take it now!

Earn cash, rewards when you refer people to NSB
We have two ongoing promotions right now. If you know anyone who might be interested in a home-equity loan or new checking account, we hope you’ll refer them to North Shore Bank. And if you are a non-sales, non-branch employee, you can earn cash prizes or reward points for referrals. Here are more details from Karen DeGarmo.

Dan Krueger of Credit Matters speaks at the “Get Smart” seminar at Shorewood on Feb 24.

In February and March, we held four “Get Smart” seminars to educate consumers about home buying and selling. “We had great presentations that allowed our clients to learn more about their credit and things like how to properly stage a home, and when and when not to update your home when you’re looking to sell. We also discussed new mortgage regulations and the right time to get started on the mortgage process,” said Chris Boland, VP and Mortgage Lending Manager. “All in all, we were able to answer a lot of questions, and we connected a number of clients with lenders.” See more about our seminars and lending options here.

North Shore Shape Up: Weight Watchers offers discount, next session starting April 15
For a limited time, Weight Watchers is offering an early-bird renewal discount. This will reduce the cost of the next 12-week Weight Watchers At Work session — which starts April 15 — by 15 percent! Instead of getting 12 weeks for $156, the cost would be only $132.60. That works out to about $22 a pay period instead of $26. You would save $8 a month. More information on the program and how to get the discount here.

Upcoming Events
Tomorrow, on March 18, North Shore Bank will sponsor the Business Power Breakfast at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. See more events here.
