Howard-Suamico assistant branch manager Emmeline Knight-Guzman, Katie, Nicole Smith of the Howard Suamico Education Foundation, and district manager Kerri Collins with a big check for the Heidi Hussli Memorial Fund.

Our northeast branches raised $1,100 in November for the Howard-Suamico Education Foundation’s Heidi Hussli Memorial Fund, which honors a 47-year-old Bay Port German teacher who died of COVID-19 in September.

Hussli’s husband, Amir Nouri, emailed the bank to share his appreciation. He wrote: “You guys are so amazing and I am sure Heidi will be the happiest to see all these funds helping her students to travel to Germany. I wish she was here to see it, but she definitely is watching all this. Please say thanks to all North Shore Bank teams and everyone who was involved in raising these funds.”

“It has been rewarding and an honor to help support this important initiative in the community, and to see the positive impact it’s had on the family who experienced such a loss,” area branch manager Katie Presser said. Many thanks to everybody who helped make this happen!
