In celebration of their 130th Anniversary, the employees of First National Bank & Trust gathered together a collection approximately 150 sought after favorite recipes from past and present employees and created an Anniversary Cookbook which were sold at each of their seven locations (Main office, Kingsford, North, South, Econo Foods, Iron River or Menominee) for $10 each. The employees raised over $4,500 which will be distributed to causes within each community their employees support.
One of the benefactors of this fund raising project is the Barb Palzewic Hope Memorial Relay of Stephenson, Michigan, which is held every year at the beginning of June– all proceeds benefit local cancer patients who live primarily in Menominee County, Michigan and Marinette County, Wisconsin.
