We live in an interesting world. Many trust no one, others trust everyone. When giving out your personal information, be very careful. No one should call you by telephone and ask you to verify account numbers, social security numbers, or personal information. Hang up immediately and notify the bank and a trusted family member or friend. Destroy completely any personal information that may be on your papers before tossing in the waste basket. Just a reminder. Pass it on.

Hard to believe that the first month of the year is behind us. How are those New Year’s Resolutions coming along? We applaude all of you who have made plans for improvement in 2010. If we can help you transform those goals into realities, let us know. We want to help.

As we continue to receive reports out of Haiti, our hearts break over the devastation caused by the earthquake. Countries around the world are sending aid and workers…working together for the common cause of relief. As we know more, we will know how to help. In the meantime, should you want to help, contact the local television stations for reputable agencies.

We love being not only your neighborhood bank but also a part of your lives. ABC News recently did a story on Americans who have grown tired of their big banks and are moving their business to small local banks. Looks like we are part of a grassroots movement. Again, we thank you for your support.
