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!
