Shorelines Editor

Sue Doyle, senior vice president, retail banking, wanted to share this update she sent to her team, highlighting the many community activities our branches are sponsoring, holding, or taking part in this holiday season. She writes: “Thank you to all individuals participating in community events this holiday season. Your generosity brings our ‘SOAR Together’ principles to life, and I greatly appreciate your time and commitment.”

  • Santa float, Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue. North Shore Bank matched donations up to $1,000 to help the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue/Local 275 raise funds to replace the sound system on this holiday icon, which got going in 1952. Firefighters and the Santa float were at Menasha last weekend to promote fundraising efforts.
