Tis the Season - Rockwood Bank

WINTER 2013
Tis the Season
Rockwood Bank’s
version of
Charlie Brown’s
Christmas tree.
Here is Greg & Jan Gates’ grandson
Will having a blast in the red wagon
they won from Rockwood Bank in
our Christmas drawing.
Charity of the Month
Rockwood Bank was again a
drop-off location for the
Toys-4-Tots program. Our
employees and customers
managed to donate over 160
new toys to the Eureka
effort and the High Ridge
location filled their box
three times for the North
Jefferson County Chamber
Drive! We were also a dropoff for the Winter’s WarmUp coat drive the previous
months. Thank you to
everyone who helped make
it a better Christmas for all!
We had scores of presents for our “Adopt-a” families this
year. Thank you to everyone that gave to our families in
need of a little help this Christmas.
Three of our fearless
employees braved the
winter
weather
to
participate in an Ugly
Sweater
Run
on
December 21st.

WINTER 2013
The Train’s a Comin
Rockwood Bank sponsored the Train Men at The
Timbers in Eureka on Saturday, Dec. 14th, 2013. The Train
Men are Paul Doerr, Roland Burgess, Randy Geisler and Jim
Brame. These men are wonderful, as they do all this as
volunteers to make our customers and everyone else happy.
The kids and adults alike loved the trains and the men did such
a great job displaying all the old trains.
Jean Tucker had the table set up for cookies and juice
while the Eureka community enjoyed the trains. Marilyn and
Jean enjoyed seeing some of our bank customers from Eureka
that they don’t often get to see since they are located at our
High Ridge and Wildwood branches.
The Train guys were also featured at our Fenton
location the weekend before Christmas.
We’re not just a bank in your community,
We’re your community bank.

Prestige Club
Christmas Luncheon
In Memoriam
December 10, 2013
We had a wonderful Christmas luncheon with our Prestige Club on
December 10th. The Country Club at The Legends was beautifully
decorated for Christmas, the food was delicious and the program was very
nice. Our guests of honor were Randy Long and Laurie Esterlein as we
paid tribute to their mother, Jan Long, and her many years of service to the
Rockwood Bank Prestige Club.
Karen, Marilyn and Jean
welcomed all our guests.
In December, we
dedicated our
Eureka popcorn
machine to Bonne
McFarland. She
was a big part of
Rockwood Bank
and made popcorn
for our bank
customers for
many years.
Bonne McFarland

Tony & Barb Hren with
John & Rosemary Proctor.
Jan's involvement in her community spanned over five
decades serving as retired chairman of Long Ford Sales
Inc., Double 4 Trailer Sales, 44 Auto Credit and Long’s
Auto Center. Jan served on the board of directors of
Rockwood Bank. She and her husband Wib were two of
the original founders. She was an Ambassador of the
Chamber of Commerce, founder and past president of
both the Eureka Historical Society and Tri County
Helpmates, member and past president of the Eureka
Wednesday Club, along with numerous charitable
organizations to which she volunteered her time. She
was an active member in Sacred Heart Church. In 2004
she was named the Eureka Business Person of The Year
and in 2010 named as one of the recipients of Lieutenant
Peter Kinder's Senior Service Award. She will be greatly
missed by her family, friends and the Eureka
Community.

When you think of Bonne McFarland you think
of a friendship that was a precious gift to anyone that
knew her. Bonne was a special friend to the Rockwood
Bank employees from the minute we opened the doors
on February 5, 1990. She was always doing little things
for the employees and for many years Bonne made sure
the popcorn was popped every Friday. Our customers
love the tradition that was started in 1990 and continues
today at all of our locations.
Bonne was a retired teacher from Eureka, MO.
She belonged to many clubs and attended many
functions in the Eureka area where she volunteered
numerous hours helping where she could make a
difference. Bonne had a hand in naming Rockwood
Bank when she suggested the name to the original
investors and Joseph Lunt, the bank’s president. All of
us at Rockwood Bank and her many friends that
traveled with Bonne on our Prestige Club trips these
past years will cherish the times we shared making
memories together. Friends like Bonne McFarland are
rare as they spread giving, hope and love in everything
they do. We will miss our devoted friend.
