We don’t talk much about what we do for Tucson, we just quietly do our part and help in many ways.

Our officers are active with numerous local organizations that make our city a better place to live and work. Each year we partner with the Southern Arizona Chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation in the Race for a Cure, which raises money for the Foundation’s goal of eradicating breast cancer.

Yearly, our team members give generously to the United Way and recently I had the honor of being selected as the chairman of the 2004-05 campaign for the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona. The year-long campaign ends on June 30 and the ambitious goal is to raise $10.8 million to fund 44 partner agencies and over 700 other agencies where donors direct their contributions.

On the business side of the ledger, our team continually exceeds expectations through true common-sense banking in the community. We get involved to resolve the banking needs of our clients. We take the time to care.

We have established a real estate division to take care of residential mortgage needs for our customers. We also have a loan production office in Nogales, Arizona, which focuses on making loans to the seasonal produce industry. The Nogales office holds the distinction of being one of the few banks with “delegated authority” as an export import bank.

Our record earnings in 2004 reflect the hard work of our staff and the support we receive from business, industry and the community. We look forward to continued growth in 2005 and setting the banking standard for all of Southern Arizona.
