FALL 2018

the traditionalHoliday Greetings!We hope you are enjoying the holiday season!

As we take time to be thankful and look forward to connecting with loved ones, we are reminded of our LEB friends – and we thank you for your relationship and continued trust in us.

What makes our days rewarding is having the opportunity to help our customers and expand our relationships with the people in our great communities. It’s the smiling faces, the thank you letters, meeting closing deadlines, or the times we get to visit with you when you stop in the bank that mean the most.

We enjoy offering you enhanced products – such as mobile banking. We take pride in finding solutions for your new project. We are here to make banking easier for you and to make your projects a reality. We enjoy being your Bank.

We wish you and your family a happy holiday season and look forward to what 2019 has in store for all of us. Be sure to stop in and say “hi” this holiday season.

Thank you again, for your trust in Lake Elmo Bank. Happy Holidays from all of us at Lake Elmo Bank.

Sincerely,

Dan Raleigh President / CEO

Lake Elmo Bank Community DayOur customers, friends and neighbors stopped by to join in our Community Day fun this fall. The 22nd annual community gathering offered something for everyone. The weather was perfect and the people plentiful. A huge thank you to those who joined us this year. For some of you it was your first, and for some of you it was your 22nd. We enjoy seeing all of you! A big thank you to our entire LEB staff who make it happen – cooking hot dogs, roasting corn, scooping ice cream, parking cars, and calling bingo. A great community event made possible by our great employees.

We all Love Little Elmo Jesse Hedinger – LEB employee takes time to visit with his son and Little Elmo.
