PEGGY IS RETIRING!

Peggy Weiss has been a part of our bank family for 30 years, and we can’t begin to count the many ways we’ve counted on her. Through three decades of growth and change, she has been a part of our success—and now we celebrate HER!

Thank you, Peggy, for tirelessly serving your customers, your community, and your coworkers, always with a friendly smile and a warm greeting. Thank you for the countless days of hard work, and for your steadfast kindness along the way; for diligently and patiently training so many of our staff in your quiet, unassuming manner, providing support and encouragement, and instilling confidence and efficiency. In short, thanks for just being you, and for being an important part of our family!

While we’re sad to see Peggy leave, we’re even more excited for her as she begins this next chapter. Please join us to celebrate Peggy’s remarkable career, share fond memories, and wish her a well-deserved retirement:
