Customer Finn McFadyen started banking with North Shore Bank when he was 10. He recently left for college in Switzerland, and Fox Point held a going-away party for him. “We had a little cake for him that looked like the Swiss flag, and we gave him a Seymour stuffed toy,” reports Branch Manager Carol Bergen. “He was so excited, and we may be seeing some pictures of Seymour in various places in Europe over the school year.” •••

North Shore Shape Up: Enjoy ice cream with less guilt
I scream, you scream — we really all do scream for ice cream! According to the International Dairy Foods Association, Americans consume about 22 pounds of it, per capita, per year. In fact, even George Washington spent $200 on the sweet treat back in 1790.

But ice cream’s irresistibleness doesn’t have to be our downfall. Berkeley Wellness has compiled a list of tips for healthier ice cream consumption. Here’s the short version:

• Portion control is key. An official serving size is ½ cup.
• Avoid or limit premium brands. Slow-churned ice cream usually has less sugar and fat.
• Consider frozen yogurt or sorbet (though still in moderation). They can be lower in fat, though often not in sugar.
• Limit your toppings, or choose healthier ones. Say no to M&Ms in favor of crushed nuts, fruit, or coconut shavings.

Also note that while sugar-free and non-dairy ice cream-style treats can be great options for some people, they’re not necessarily healthier. To check out the full list of tips, download the PDF. •••
