Roberta with her winnings.

To mark the last month of fiscal year 2019, Howard-Suamico branch employees held a competition. “During September, whoever had a conversation with customer or got a referral would get to steal a box with surprise gifts in it,” assistant branch manager Emmeline Knight-Guzmán said.

Teller Roberta Strazishar won the contest. “She had a great conversation with a customer about meeting with Roxanna Bruss on investment and retirement planning. She was very excited to win!” Roberta is pictured above with her prize, which contained autumn-themed items like a blanket, a candle, light-up pumpkin decor, and a frame that said, “Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole.”
