Extending Trust Point’s values of being involved in the community, Regina Sigel, Vice President and Kathy Reinolt, Relationship Manager, took part in the 32nd Annual Regional Rotary Avenues of Service Dinner held at the La Crosse Country Club on Tuesday, August 16th.
The dinner recognized individuals and area Rotary Clubs who exemplify service at the highest level in the Coulee Region while also raising funds for the Rotary Works Foundation which supports local and international charitable and educational activities.
Kathy helped recognize winning recipients from the Holmen Rotary Club. As a member of the event’s Planning Committee, Regina made sure that every detail was on point and that each attendee felt welcomed and appreciated (many of which are clients and friends of Trust Point).
It was a great opportunity to spend time with area community members.
