AB Online Banking Zoom
2020 was a year like no other, and the pandemic may
have launched you completely out of your comfort zone
of traditional banking. During this time, we understand that
getting assistance in person is proving to be difficult and
risky, so we’ve made plans for the next best option. We want
to offer our help and support, so we’ve set up 2 ZOOM calls
where you will get to see us face to face as we navigate
our way through the most common frustrations of online
banking. We will be limiting these classes to 10 Spirit Club      “ The Spirit of Us”
members per session so that we are able to offer the best              Happy 2021! When looking back at the
experience to all those involved. It is because of this limited   beginning of 2020, no one could have expected

Door County & Mackinac Island | October 3-9 (Sunday – Saturday)
Prepare to be captivated by Door County, Wisconsin! Our time here will be filled with authentic
Door County experiences beginning with the Cherry Train tour. The ferry will take us to Washington
Island for this narrated tour that introduces us to life on the island, its history, and more. Back
on the mainland, we’ll depart for Seaquist Orchards, where our entertaining guide will lead us
through the cherry, apple, and pear trees. Of course, our visit to the area would not be complete
without a very special Door County meal loved by locals and tourists alike - a traditional fish boil.
Locally caught fish will be boiled on an open fire, and we’ll know it’s time to eat when the fiery
“boil over” occurs!
Then we’re off to the famous Mackinac Island where cars are banned, horses and bikes command
the roads. With two nights at the Grand Hotel in this Victorian village, we’ll have plenty of
opportunities to tour the island by horse-drawn carriage, sample delicious foods at the famous
Grand Luncheon Buffet, and simply revel in the slower pace on the island. After saying goodbye
to Mackinac Island, our journey will take us home with a dune buggy ride and visit to Starved Rock
State Park along the way.
In addition to six nights’ accommodations and fourteen meals, the price includes motorcoach
transportation, admissions, porterage, taxes, and gratuities. To see the complete itinerary and
inclusions check our website for the brochure, pick one up at your local branch or call Loreen and
she will send you one.

                    December Christmas Outing | To Be Announced

attending them. Unfortunately, they are not finalized and announced until mid-summer. When
we have a chance to check out the opportunities, we will publish the December outing in the
newsletter.
                                                                    Cost: TBD | Deposit: $10

                            Southern Charm | April 24-30, 2022
Many of us were looking forward to the Spirit Club Southern Charm tour for April of 2021.
Unfortunately, with the uncertainty of Covid 19, we have decided to reschedule it for April of
2022. Hopefully, things will be much safer by then. The tour will be very similar as the one offered
this year. Cost will be subject to change.
April is a glorious time to walk in the beautiful gardens of Savannah and Charleston! Enjoy the
bountiful Magnolia trees, the blossoms of Azaleas and Hyacinths in contrast to the live Oak trees
hanging with the thick Spanish Moss. Take in the architecture of these Southern cities in walks
and carriage rides. Savor the delicious cuisine served up in outdoor cafes and explore the city
markets and curiosity shops. Delight in the Southern hospitality of two very special hotels that
just exude the charm of yesteryear. This tour is a filled with Civil War history, the lure of the Gullah
culture and the gentle nature of the Antebellum South.
                                                                            Cost:TBD | Deposit: $500
