SPRING 2022
              A MESSAGE FROM
              THE DIRECTOR
              The buds of spring are arriving and so is an exciting schedule of activities
              for the spring and summer! Now is a fantastic time of year to venture
              out and explore new places and learn new things. We have a variety of
              events planned for the next few months, including day trips, educational
              seminars, and extended travel opportunities. Let’s fill your calendar with
              interesting and fun experiences!

              Do you have a friend or family member nearby who may want to
              join you at an event? Visit wintrust.com/panewsletters to see events
              happening in your area, as well as near friends and family. There’s sure to
              be something for everyone.

              As the new Platinum Adventures Director, I am looking forward to
              meeting all of you at upcoming events. While I am new to Platinum
              Adventures and Crystal Lake Bank & Trust, I led a senior travel club for
              many years. I enjoyed getting to know my customers and experiencing
              new places together. We have some exciting events planned this
              summer and I hope to meet all of you soon!

              At the time of print, the extended trips, outings, and presentations in
              this newsletter are all scheduled to occur as planned. However, due
              to COVID-19 precautions, these events may need to be rescheduled or
              canceled. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I look
              forward to seeing you soon!
