Did you catch Katie Presser’s great post last week about her first job, working for her dad at his bowling alley in Racine?

Do YOU have a story like it? We hope you do — and we hope you’ll share it with Shorelines.

We’re looking for more posts from our readers, on these topics:

• My First Job: Tell us about your first experience in the workforce — what was great, what maybe wasn’t, and what you learned that you carry with you today.
• Community Minded: Do you volunteer, or do you know a colleague who does? We’d love to hear about the good work you do and how your co-workers can get involved, too. Last year, business relationship manager Jeremy Schmidt talked about his experiences as a parent who’s adopted two foster kids. In 2015, loan funding team leader Sarah Gantner and sales and marketing analyst Brent Neumann shared what it’s like to comfort the terminally ill through Heartland Hospice.
• Travel stories: Visit someplace cool? Let us know! We especially want to see your vacation photos!
• Favorite recipes: Is there a classic dish you look forward to at holidays, or just something your kids love to eat? Tell us about! We’re always looking for delicious menu items. (If you’re making it soon, take a picture!)
• Customer service tips: Is there something you’ve learned that’s helped you better serve our clients, both external and internal? We welcome the chance to spread that knowledge through the newsletter.

Shorelines is also always on the lookout for interesting news about employees’ professional achievements, big life events, or interesting accomplishments. (If you’ve got a tip about a co-worker, send it our way. Don’t worry — we won’t publish anything until we clear it with them.)

For more information about any of these topics or contributing to the newsletter, email Josh, the editor, at shorelines@northshorebank.com. We hope to hear from you soon!
