MOB SWARMS BANK!! It was too late to call out the National Guard! NEAR RIOT ENSUES It was bad. Really bad. They swarmed in. From the South. From the North. From the East and West. We didn't know where they would come from next. We were surrounded in the parking lot. With cars and people all around us. Every place that you looked. We were trapped! Maybe 200 or 300 cars showed up. Maybe 400 or 500. We don't know. We were too busy to count. There were somewhere between 1 and 4 people in each vehicle. That's a lot of people. Yep, it was a great success. It was our annual Free Shred Day on Saturday, July 19th. We advertised that it would be from 10 AM to 1 PM. By 9:30, the car mob started forming. Each car had up to 5 boxes of documents to be shredded. And the shred truck wasn't here yet. Oops. By the starting time at 10 AM, there were scores of cars waiting but in organized lines due to our crack First Secure Traffic Control Team (Brandy, Mike, Sam & Jay). The shred truck arrived shortly before 10 am. We asked the people to stay in their vehicles while our outstanding First Secure Magnificent Executive Shred Crew unloaded the boxes and dumped the contents in the shred bins. There were six to ten bank shred crew people unloading up to 5 boxes from cars for 3 hours. They won't need to go to the gym for a month after that. Why were we jammed? Because we offered to shred up to 5 boxes of documents for free. It didn't matter if you were a customer or not. Just show up with the documents to be shredded and we'll take care of it. Some other banks previously had a free shred day every so often. But they don't anymore. Why not? Beats us. Too much hard work? Too expensive to rent the shred truck for several hours? Maybe, both of the above? Or, maybe they just don't care. I mean, if they don't make any money on it, why do it. Well, that's the difference between First Secure Community Bank of Joliet and other banks. We are a community bank. We care. So if it costs us a few bucks for a shred truck, we'll do it for the community. By the way, all of the bank people that worked volunteered their time. That's the way a real community bank works. So if you want to bank with people that are not just your bankers but your neighbors, come and see us. We're waiting for you. 4.00% 7 Month CD 3.50% 13 Month CD $2500 minimum to open. st FIRST SECURE COMMUNITY BANK OF JOLIET We're not just your bank, we're your neighbor!
