Walcott Women CHAMBER t t o c l a W OF COMMERCE NEWSLETTER | Volume 15 | Issue 11 | November 2014 | Walcott Trust and Savings Bank has made several changes in the last 9 months! We hope most of you know that a decision was made to open up a branch location in Davenport to serve our customers who live and work outside of Walcott. The branch location is just that. Another location that is more convenient to get too when you are in “town”. Walcott Bank is committed to keeping the main bank in Walcott where we opened the doors over 80 years ago. The bank employees are very excited about the new location and much thought and energy has been spent getting the doors open which should be right around the corner. In addition to our new location, the bank has spent time developing a new website that we find more informative and user friendly. Our online banking now offers financial tools to help you manage your expenses and allows you to track where you money is spent each month. You may have also noticed that we updated our bank logo. The new logo represents a piece of our main location while joining the letters WTSB to represent our new move into Davenport. There are also several new faces at our bank. We have hired several new employees to help staff our new location and they have been in Walcott training. The bank’s mission says in part that our employees are our most important assets and we will commit to developing and maintaining highly trained and motivated staff to serve our valuable customers. The bank intends to maintain the small community banking philosophies it had had over the last 80 years moving forward. You will not call into the bank and get a machine answering your call. When you need financial advice, you can simply come into the bank and talk with a person you know and trust. Many of our customers have been with us for a very long time and we value their business. As we prepare to open the doors at our new location, we reflect back on the last successful 80 years with a smile. We are truly SAFE, SOLID and SECURE and we are so grateful that our roots are in the wonderful community of Walcott. www.WalcottBank.com FALL LEAF PICK-UP Every Tuesday and Friday Ends on November 21st Leaves should be curbside by 8 a.m., in bags and tied shut. Sticks, garden vegetation, or grass CANNOT be included with the leaves. Leaves, garden vegetation, grass, and brush may also be disposed of at the compost area. DO NOT LEAVE BAGS AT THE COMPOST AREA. DON’T FORGET TO November 4, 2014 Calvary United Methodist Church Polls Open – 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. HOME / AUTO / LIFE CITY SNOW POLICIES Ready for winter weather? It will be here before we know it! It is easier for City staff to clear snow off streets when cars are not parked on them but if it is necessary to use street parking during a snowfall, staff encourages you to adhere to the following Snow Emergency Parking Regulations: • All vehicles and equipment shall be parked on the side with even addresses on even numbered calendar days and on the side with odd numbered addresses on odd numbered calendar days. • If a snow emergency is declared, vehicles and/or equipment may be towed if they are parked in violation of the snow emergency parking regulations. Residents are reminded that it is the property owners’ responsibility to remove snow and ice accumulations promptly from sidewalks. Also, corner lots are required to clear the snow from the access ramps to allow unimpeded passage for pedestrian traffic. Please make arrangements, including when you are away for a few days/weeks, to have your sidewalks maintained at all times. When shoveling or snow blowing your driveway and sidewalk, please DO NOT shovel or blow snow into the street. This could create road hazards and is a violation of City Code, subject to a civil penalty of up to $750. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated! The Walcott Auxiliary #548 is seeking names and addresses of area service people so they may be remembered with a Christmas gift. If you know someone who is serving our country, please notify Loretta Beitel, 284-6000, so we can send him/her a monetary gift for Christmas. We would appreciate receiving the names as soon as possible so they receive the gift in time for Christmas. Thank you.

Over 7 million MP3 songs, including today’s top hits, are available for free for iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and smartphones. Instructions of how to download this free app are available at any Scott County library station and on the library website, www.scottcountylibrary.org.

There is no new news about the library moving to the old meat market building. There are several issues that need to be considered before Scott County is willing to purchase the building for a new Walcott station. These include roof leaking, mold, and an open stairway to the basement. Library Director Tricia Kane and the Scott Library Board are pursuing cost-analysis information, and the Scott County Board of Supervisors is aware of the need for a larger building for the Walcott station in the center of town. The winners of the Teen book drawing in September were Joey Castel and Isabella Castel. Joey won the book, Divergent and Isabella won The Fault in Our Stars.
