Corporate employees descend upon the Board Together ice cream trailer after donating books (right) to charity Next Door.

The Corporate Community Outreach Committee book drive for Next Door brought in 565 books for kids!

Floors 1, 2, and 3 at Corporate competed against Floors 4 and 5 during the week of June 19 to see who could donate the most books. The lower floors emerged victorious, winning themselves a free scoop from Board Together’s Da Udder Spot ice cream trailer on Wednesday, June 28.

To get everybody into an appropriately literary spirit, a door decorating contest saw Corporate employees dressing up doors throughout the building based on their favorite books or authors. The Auditing/BSA entrance door took first place for its Harry Potter theme, the Brookfield Square branch entrance came in second with its Very Hungry Caterpillar design, and the video tellers/Marketing door placed third with its Curious George look. Ribbons were created by senior deposit operations specialist Janet Russell out of Seymour Savings bookmarks.
