Yeah the 2011 tornado was quite impactful. Um, the tornado itself just came through just
a few hundred yards down the street. Uh... tore apart several schools tore apart the
park, not seeing the trees that used to be there is something you kind of take for granted
and then when their gone your like wow it’s tragic. After the tornado in reviewing the
loss of the trees it was just overwhelming that PeoplesBank was the first corporate citizen
to step up and make this pledge of forty thousand dollars to plant trees in the City of Springfield,
and I knew then that because of their a donation that Springfield was going to have a new day
and a new start and we were going to be Tree City USA again. We have a lot of customer
that come to me and thank me for the trees that are being planted in their lawn and it’s
actually an inspiring moment You know customers come up and they almost have tears in their
eyes thanking PeoplesBank for being a leader in donating the trees and funds to help rebuild
the community.
