Nothing like shopping in Dundee. This weekend will be extra special as the neighborhood hosts their annual garage sale extravagnza. The business district is on board with sidewalk sales and restaurant specials. You’ll always have a good time in Dundee. Happy weekend!

May is the month to celebrate graduates everywhere. Congratulations are in order. You have worked hard and now it is time to enjoy your success. To quote our favorite doctor, Dr. Suess, “Oh the places you will go!”

This morning, the begonia flower baskets made their appearance in front of the bank. What a thrill to have them back in the neighborhood. The goal is to have all 475 baskets up throughout Dundee by Mother’s Day. Thank you to all the volunteers who make this beautiful tradition possible.

Yesterday we welcomed Dundee Elementary second graders to the bank as they visited businesses on their annual “Know Your Neighborhood” tour. You may have seen them in their white t-shirts with a big red heart on front stating WE LOVE DUNDEE! They were a delight and judging by our visitors, the future looks bright. Thanks for stopping by!

We are delighted to have you back in Omaha! We know the next few days will be filled with activites. If schedules permit, drop by and see our bank building. It was Warren Buffett’s grandparents grocery store until the early 1960’s. We’d love to say hello!

My, the month of April zipped by. Many of you are beginning final tests and projects as the Spring semester winds down. Our best wishes go with you. We know you’ll do great!

We join the city of Omaha in welcoming our First Lady, Michelle Obama. She will give the keynote address tomorrow at Lunch For The Girls, benefitting Girl’s Inc. which inspires girls and young women to “BE STRONG,SMART AND BOLD”. Thank you, Mrs. Obama, for leading by example.

Saturday we honor our wonderful planet as we celebrate Earth Day at Elmwood Park. Admission is free. There will be live music, plenty of booths, food vendors and special projects for the young and old. Everyone is encouraged to ride your bike,walk,run or carpool to the park. We love our Mother Earth.

Our beautiful spring weather has brought out the bikers. In all fairness, some of you have ridden your bikes all year in all kinds of weather. Many have admired the Dundee Bicycle in our window. It was built by Chris Halbkat who is featured in today’s Omaha World Herald. Check it out and you’ll see, bikes are big!

Need a reason to celebrate this weekend? It is Community Banking Month in Nebraska. Dundee Bank proudly belongs to this select group.
