SE Wisconsin branches to distribute #MaskUpMKE kits
As part of our Bank on Kindness program, North Shore Bank offices in southeast Wisconsin will serve as distribution points for the #MaskUpMKE initiative, starting on Monday through June 15. #MaskUpMKE provides volunteers with mask-making kits, so that they can make masks for Wisconsinites who need them.
Just One More Ministry is delivering the kits to the branches, where members of the community can check them out. The goal is to distribute 1,200 kits. Employees are welcome to check out kits to make masks, and you should also encourage interested customers to join the effort. For every box of 700 masks produced, Rebel Converting of Saukville will donate $25 to Just One More, up to a total $30,000.
#MaskUpMKE and the bank will be promoting our southeast locations as the place to pick up and drop off mask-making kits. Please like and share any #MaskUpMKE social media posts you see to help us reach the 1,200-kit goal! We’ll hope to post pictures of folks with their kits and masks in the next few weeks. •••

New Hires for May 28
It’s always exciting to add new members to our team. Here are some of the fresh faces at North Shore Bank.
Customer care representative Denis Hostettler is originally from Hilbert, in the Fox Valley, and lives in Cudahy now. He was previously call center manager for Cascio Interstate Music in New Berlin. “Occasionally — when there is no pandemic — I can be spotted announcing bouts for the Brewcity Bruisers roller derby league at the UWM Panther Arena,” he says. “Also, if you happen to own the locally produced DVD Mondo Lucha: World of Wrestling (and who wouldn’t?), one of the voices on commentary is yours truly!”
Northland teller Noah Isenhower is from Fremont and previously interned at accounting firm Spurlock Runyan Miller & Associates. “I love sports — and almost every sport,” he says. “I enjoy playing and watching football in particular. Packers and Raiders are my teams. One team has been fun to be a fan of for the past 20 years. I enjoy the months of preparation and build-up for 15 minutes of sport.” Noah’s favorite sport to watch is Ultimate Fighting Championship or mixed martial arts.
Help desk technician Scott Pagliaroni is from Franklin. He previously worked in IT support/engineering at iHeartmedia in Greenfield. “I enjoy numerous hobbies: games, reading, the outdoors, travel, food snobbery, the NBA, and more,” he says. “This NBA season was the first time I went in on season tickets for the Milwaukee Bucks. And of course during their best season in over 40 years, it was temporarily curtailed. Being a Bucks fan means being used to being disappointed, but I still have hope that Giannis and crew can bring home a title this year.”
Union Grove teller Staci Ryan is from Union Grove. She previously worked at Dollar General, where she was assistant manager for two years. “I am a mother of two beautiful children — a 7-year-old boy and a 1½-year-old girl. I love spending as much time with them as I can. I am a wife of three years to an amazing husband.” Staci is also pursuing a nursing degree at Herzing University in Kenosha, with two years left before graduation.” •••
