The July 2015 issue of Independent Banker magazine featured the bank’s CEO Bruce Jensen as its “Indie Banker of the Month”, and included two illus- trated stories about Town & Country’s good fortunes. The first article, “White-Glove Service”, focused on the bank’s innovative delivery of customer service. Jen- sen wrote the second story, “Our Way Through”, which chronicles Town & Country’s navigation through difficult economic times and into national prominence for its ex- ceptional return on assets and return on equity. The bank expects to post record net income for its second quarter of the year, and will formally announce earnings later this month. Jensen and the bank were recipients of two high profile awards earlier this year, and Town & Country has grown in assets by more than 10% since the beginning of the year. U.S. BANK SALT LAKE CITY HOME RECEIVED A FRESH COAT OF PAINT FROM U.S. BANK AND “PAINT YOUR HEART OUT” A local Salt Lake City resident, George Francis, had his house painted by 13 U.S. Bank employee volunteers as part of NeighborWorks® Salt Lake’s (NWSL) annual “Paint Your Heart Out” annual event. “This is the ninth year that U.S. Bank employees have volunteered for Paint Your Heart Out,” said Damon Miller, president of U.S. Bank in Utah. “Mr. Francis, the homeowner, has a beautifully painted home courtesy of U.S. Bank Volunteers. Neighbor- Works Salt Lake provides valuable and needed services to eligible homeowners. Our neighborhoods and community are more beautiful because of their service to Salt Lake City.” Building community for 37 years and counting, NWSL is organizing more than 180 volunteers from local businesses, organizations and institutions to paint and beautify homes. Paint Your Heart Out has painted 800 homes at no cost to eligible homeowners since 1985. This year, volunteers painted a total of 14 homes throughout Glendale, Fair Park, Rose Park, and Murray City neighborhoods. ZIONS BANK ZIONS BANK CELEBRATES PAINT-A-THON’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY Senior citizens and disabled residents who face challenges maintaining their homes received a helping hand from Zi- ons Bank volunteers during the bank’s 25th annual Paint-a- Thon service project in June. Bank wide, more than 2,500 employees and their fami- lies volunteered to clean, scrape and paint 46 homes. In addition to painting, volunteers also supplied flowers and completed other tasks around the homes. “It’s been so gratifying for me to see how our employees have given their time and elbow grease over the past 25 years to help beautify our neighborhoods,” said Zions Bancorporation Chairman and CEO Harris Simmons, who himself has wielded paintbrushes and rollers each year. “The Paint-a-Thon exemplifies our company’s culture of service and dedication to our communities.” Since its launch in 1991, Zions Bank employees have put aside summer pastimes for a week each year — volunteer- ing in the evenings after work and on Saturday — to paint 1,046 homes throughout Idaho and Utah. The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank. Along with the countless volunteer hours, the bank has donated more than $1 million in paint and supplies over the past quarter century.  Bank Kudos — continued from page 19 Bank Kudos
