Nothing like the bank across the street preparing lunch when you have family visiting. That’s what happened on Saturday. At 11:30 my husband looked out and there they were, two employees setting up an awning, picnic table and chairs, and a grill. Just a little promo on a summer’s day for the neighborhood, and for those on their way to the library next door. It was a simple as that, at least for the five of us, who were the first to arrive.
Those working for Salem Five, on a beautiful August Saturday no less, were delighted to have some patronage, Plus we attracted attention and soon there was a enough of a crowd to be consider a “critical mass,” --in other words to call the event a success. Menu: hamburgers, hotdogs, cooked to order, and chips, water, soda, and chocolate-chip cookies. Um, no fruit or vegetables, but no one noticed, nor did I until just now. A teller inside the bank was ready to answer questions and give out a tote bags filled with information, advertising trinkets, and, of course, candy.
I wonder if they acquired any new accounts? Maybe not on an August Saturday, but when fall sets in….I hope so. I, for one, already have an account there.
