Being a community bank is so much more than providing financial services to the individuals and businesses in our area. To us, it is truly investing in the overall success of all who live in the Gallatin Valley.
Recently, we had the opportunity to support the 4-H endeavors of Ezra and Clara, the daughters of two of our clients. For those who are unfamiliar with 4-H, it is a youth development organization whose aim is to “strengthen the mental, physical, moral and social development of youth, thereby helping them to develop into competent, committed, caring and self-assured adults.”
This year Ezra and Clara raised champion chickens! Their chickens grew to be over twelve pounds each through a very natural, balanced diet – no additives or hormones. They ensured their chickens received a healthy amount of exercise each day, and when it came time to show the chickens, both girls did so with excellence. To receive the award of grand champion, it wasn’t just about how good their chickens looked; they were also tested on their knowledge of poultry farming and other fowl.
Our team was so excited to celebrate their hard work and even more excited to share the prize winning fowls amongst our team. We are proud to support and invest in the skills these girls are learning through 4-H, as well as the hard work and dedication of so many other non-profit organizations, school programs, and client endeavors. It is truly a joy to come alongside you all to celebrate your victories and successes in your finances and beyond.
We appreciate your continued trust in our team and look forward to serving you, your families, and your businesses for years to come.
Sincerely,
Clinton Gerst
Bank President
