a money pouch with some start-up cash. Participants could get their kit at any Hills Bank location, and at the end of the summer, if they turned in their completed income statement sheet, they received a certificate of completion and we inducted into the Lemon Boss Hall of Fame! We had 425 participants in our first year of the program, and profits totaled over $1,800! H ills Bank opened its 18 th office in June of 2015 in Washington. The expansion south brought opportunity to enter a new market in which we could serve even more customers. During the first month of being open, the bank held the Non-Profit Giveaway. People could come into the Washington office and vote for their favorite Washington County non-profit organization. At the end of the month, 10 of the non-profits were given $1,000 each. In addition to the new Washington office being built, the Iowa Memorial Union moved from the first floor of the building to the lower level. The lower level was out of commission since the flood of 2008. After the University of Iowa decided to renovate, Hills Bank was able to land in a renovated space downstairs. I he bank opened its second Marion office in 2016. Instead of building a brand new building on 7th Avenue, we decided to remodel the current building, which was previously split between Ace Hardware and Goodwill, into a full-service banking location. The bank moved Goodwill into the Ace Hardware store, and then the bank opened where Goodwill was located. Inside this office, as well as many of our others, you will notice a train theme that ties back to our history of the annexation of the old Rock Island Railroad track in
