July Aug Journal

Hello from Connie

Hello Everyone,

It has arrived! Our new name, Connections Club, and our new journal design. I hope you like it as much as I do. I am so very thankful for the opportunity to continue as your

Club Director. We are blessed with the support of many new colleagues with Mid- west One Bank. Connections Club has been a part of Midwest One for many years. The strategy is to remain consistent with our offerings in the tri-state area and eventually introduce new adventures in all of the markets we serve. With change comes opportunity so please visit with your personal bankers and make sure you are in the right products to excel in your financial relationship with us. I know we are sending a lot of information your way so please take a minute to stop in or call. With the merger into Midwest One Bank complete we are working on up- dating all of the clubs’ printed materials. I want to mention that our points for travel cards will still be honored at all the merchants in the merchant discount directory with the AmeriClub and American Trust logo. We will replace your points for travel cards on an as needed basis so hold on to the one you have and keep on getting the great discounts offered by our generous local merchants. I would like to add a few additional travelers on our New England Fall Fo- liage trip. We have a great itinerary with time spent in Boston, Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont and Massachusetts. The amazing colors in this area differ from fall colors in other areas of the country. Much of the color is from native sugar maples and only a few other places in the world have such dense and perfect concentra- tions of these maples. We stay at wonderful properties. A highlight for me will be the evening we overnight at the Omni Mt Washington Hotel in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This trip is a combination of beauty and history. I can’t wait! I’m staying close to the office during the month of July and most of August meaning no extended travel for a while. Summer is my very favorite time of the year. You will be sure to find [me] on the mighty Mississippi river when we have sunshine to enjoy and when I’m not working. The high river stage has kept me at the dock but very soon I hope for change. Until next time, I want to wish you well and remind you to reach out with any comment, request, or concern you have. We are here for you.

Make today Great!
