A MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
The weather’s starting to heat up and so are the adventures! The change in
season means new trips, day activities and seminars and we’re excited to
share them with you. We hope you’ll grab a friend and your date book and
get some great adventures on your schedule.
We want to make you aware of one change for the new quarter. Each
event will have member and non-member pricing. If you are a member
of the Platinum Adventures Club, you’ll qualify for the member rate.
If you are not a current member, it’s easy to join: you just need to be
50+ and have a current customer relationship. If you haven’t signed
up for the club, you’ll have to pay non-member pricing to participate
in the events, so stop into the bank and fill out and sign a membership
card today!
Many exciting events are planned for the summer and fall. Please make
a point of joining us on an outing or for an informative seminar. You may
learn something new, you may make a new friend, or you may just have fun!
In any event, you’ll enjoy yourself when you are on a Platinum Adventure.
Also, plan on joining us for our Annual Fall Fest at Beverly Bank & Trust on
Saturday, September 24, 3 to 6 PM!
