Throughout his over 30 years of involvement in the financial services industry, Dave has maintained a wide range of personal interests and participated in many community organizations and programs. We recognize Dave's now wanting to be able to allocate more time to those endeavors. Dave has been instrumental in building the Bank over the last three years into a financially sound institution with a balance sheet exceeding $200 million in total assets. We look forward to continuing to work with Dave in his new consulting role and through the Bank's Shareholders Advisory Circle. I would like to acknowledge and thank Dave for his years of service to the Bank."
