🌦️🌟 Special Visit at Robertson Branch! 🌟🌦️

Our Robertson Branch had an amazing visit from Meteorologist Kaylee Whittaker from KALB, who stopped by to inspire the next generation! 💙

❓ Kids got to ask questions
🚐 Take a look inside a real weather van
...🌪️ Learn all about weather and meteorology
✨ And dream big about their futures!

We love seeing moments like this happening across our branches—hands-on learning, curiosity, and community connections in action! 🌈

Thank you, Kaylee, for sharing your time and knowledge with us! 💛
