Learning about banking

On Monday January 28th, 2008 I had the pleasure of giving Brownie troop 264 a behind the scenes look at the wonderful world of banking at our Witzel location. We began our tour in our board room, where the girls got a chance to sit in the big chairs and see what it is like to be a director of the bank. Next I took the group through our bank lobby and we talked about all the different areas of the bank and who does what. Throughout the tour I quizzed the girls to see how much they knew about banking and what an impressive group they were! They were so eager to answer my questions and I was happy to reward them with a chocolate coin!

The highlight of the tour was getting to see how our teller line works. They had fun watching the drive up tubes travel out of the bank to the cars below. They also enjoyed seeing all the different views of the drive up through our drive up cameras. The big finale was getting to take a peek at the vault. The girls tried to guess how much money could be in there but it’s a secret! Overall we all had a great time. It was nice to see that at their very young age, all of these girls knew the importance and the responsibility that comes with saving their money. And who knows, we may possibly have some future bankers on our hands.
