Micki said, “When I started at the bank in 1979, Jimmy Carter was President, there were no local ATMs, no debit cards or internet, and no cell phones. There have been a lot of changes! I have truly enjoyed my years here at the bank; I have met and worked with a lot of really great people. But I am now ready for a change-to enjoy weeks of weekends!”

President and CEO John Kavalier stated, “Micki’s strong work ethic and dedication to serving our customers has contributed significantly to the success of our bank. While her talents cultivated over her long tenure at our bank will be sorely missed, I and our entire bank staff wish her all the best in her retirement that she has earned.
