"We are thankful for the exceptional year 2017 has been so far. We had a great opportunity to expand into the downtown Coeur d'Alene market and opened our new office in February 2017. I am especially proud of the fact that this expansion expense has been fully absorbed as our earnings in the current year are slightly higher than the prior year. I am pleased with the business development progress we have made and also our outstanding employees' continued involvement supporting our community. We don't have deep pockets but we do have a team of dedicated and tireless employees who give generously of their time and talent with over 1,600 hours year-to-date of volunteer service to our community!" said Dave Bobbitt, Chairman and CEO for the bank.
