Message from our Board Chair

Hello friends!

I hope you are all well and ready for summer! June is a lovely month in Minnesota, although we are never surprised when the weather doesn’t behave! And we love to talk about it, too. 😊

For those of you who may not know me well, I work for F & M Community Bank in Preston MN and our little community bank turns 110 this year. I help publish our bank’s quarterly newsletter so we are in the midst of looking at old photos, reading submissions about how banking has changed over the years and reminiscing in general as we work on our summer edition dedicated to “Then and Now”. Five of our current staff members have worked for F & M for 39 + years. That’s a lot of knowledge and expertise rolling around this place. I think of how fortunate I am to work along side people with this amount of insight and experience, both at my workplace and at HCI. Last month, we said goodbye to Renee Zaiser as she begins her life in retirement. I know I’ll miss seeing her at Peer Group, listening to her advice and sharing her skills as a seasoned group leader. Wishing you well on your next journey, Renee! Feel free to reach out to her at 319-750-9132 or raz3553@aol.com.

I hope that your summer plans bring you sunshine and good times with your family, friends and club members!

Allison
