While most of us applaud "paperless," we still seem to have plenty of confidential papers to get rid of without the fear of someone stealing confidential information. That proved true when we offered free shred events earlier this fall at most of our branch locations in the Springfield area. While INB paid Affordable Shred for equipment and time, those of you who brought your paperwork for shredding were extremely generous. Thanks to you, INB wrote checks to these organizations:

• American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Sangamon and Menard Counties; $1,200
• Heartland Mini Hoofs; $800
• Mini O'Beirne Crisis Nursery; $3,214.44
• Titan Fuel; $621.89
• Danielle Elizabeth Allen Memorial Fund; $210

That’s over $6,000! Thanks to everyone for their generosity.
