Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff is pleased to announce the next celebration of Thankful Tuesdays – one of the ways the Bank is showing support as our island community recovers from Hurricane Ian.
“This is certainly a holiday season like no other as our shared recovery continues, and we hope Thankful Tuesdays can offer a little break from your cleanup activities. Every Tuesday, we are offering food, services, and other surprise gift items. This coming Tuesday December 20th for as long as they last, we are offering Christmas cookies, doughnuts, coffee, and bottled water,” said Roepstorff. “We hope you can make time for a little break and a chance to visit with our banking staff and other island neighbors. It’s our way of saying how proud we are to be your island bank.”
The program started in early November, with Bank of the Islands inviting neighbors and customers to visit the Sanibel office for refreshment and renewal. Previous offerings of support have included coffee, doughnuts, boxed lunches, 4,000 pounds of bagged ice, stocking stuffers, and stress-relieving seated massages to help those working on their homes and businesses.
The Bank of the Islands’ offices, including ATM operations, have both reopened after the hurricane. The Captiva office, located next to the Captiva Post Office at 14812 Captiva Drive, is open from 9am-3pm Monday-Friday. The Bank’s Sanibel office is offering full banking services from 9am-4pm Monday-Friday out of its temporary on-site operation on premise at 1699 Periwinkle Way at Casa Ybel Road. In addition, the Edison National Bank offices in Fort Myers at 13000 S. Cleveland Avenue and the River District office at 2105 First Street will continue to welcome all of the Bank’s island customers.
As the oldest locally owned and managed community bank on Sanibel and Captiva, Bank of the Islands is celebrating its 25th anniversary and proud to be the winner of more than 50 “Best of the Islands” awards over two decades.
