Agricultural, Business and Insurance Clients Enjoy Golfing and Luncheon

As a local bank, we are very respectful of the community in which we operate. Our customers and members of the local community are the reason we exist. In the day to day frenzy of business and operational tasks, however, we do not always have the chance to show our appreciation. Community events like the Astra Bank Annual Golf Tournament are a great opportunity to show we care. We do this event in association with our affiliate, Nuss/Ackerman Insurance Agency. Dedicated to our agricultural, business and insurance customers, the golf event not only provides a great outing but also gives us all the opportunity to interact with others and build connections outside our work environment.

Like the previous times, this year’s community golf tournament at Fox Hollow Golf Course, Sutton, NE on June 13, 2012 had a great turnout. Roughly 30 people participated in the friendly golf tournament with about 100 attending the luncheon.

The 9-hole team scramble event was held in the morning followed by a scrumptious luncheon where clients could sit back and relax for a couple of hours. Flag prizes for the golfers and door prize drawings for lunch attendees filled the day with excitement and a competitive spirit. We also organized a putting contest where our golfers could win balls, cash or a new golf bag.

Our staff planned and executed the entire event, including run the golf outing (with the help of Tom from Fox Hollow) cooking the burgers and serving the food. Fresh salads and delicious desserts from local caterers delighted our guests.

Merlyn Haight, VP/Location Manager of the Fox Hollow Golf Course in Sutton, NE says, “Astra Bank is our community bank too. We enjoy hosting their annual golf tournament here. Many of the attendees are also our patrons from the local community. When it comes to pampering their guests at this event, Astra Bank pulls out all the stops, so it is always a fun and cherished event.”
