RETIREMENT PARTY APRIL 11TH

         After 34 years of dedicated service, Doris Schmieg of Victoria is retiring from KleinBank.  Doris has worked for the Bank as a Teller, Loan Processor, and Personal Banker.  For 34 years, Doris has shown that she genuinely cares for her customers, co-workers, and the Victoria community.  Her dedication to our organization and customers will be greatly missed.

         Doris stated, "It is hard to believe that after 34 years at KleinBank, I will be saying goodbye.  I have met so many wonderful people over the years, both customers and employees, that I now call friends.  It is now time for the next chapter in my life. I will miss you all."

         A retirement open house will beheld on Tuesday, April 11th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at KleinBank in Victoria.  All family, friends, and co-workers are welcome to attend.

AT THE RED WING ARTS DEPOT GALLERY. 

         Katharine Eksuzian of Victoria will have a ceramic piece on view at the Red Wing Arts Association Depot Gallery through May 7th.  The new juried art exhibition is called "Greenery" and will have 32 pieces on display ranging from an animated video to paintings and photographs to mixed media sculpture selected  from more than 120 entries and 50 artists.
