First Shore Federal Savings and Loan cut the ribbon on its ninth brach April 15. Joined by a crowd of local customers, associates and public officials, First Shore Board Member Bob Stickels of Georgetown, Branch Manager Amy Holloway of Millsboro and Loan Originator Tom Robinson cut the ribbon.
First Shore, which is headquartered in Salisbury, Md., has served the Lower Shore of Delmarva for more than 60 years. The community bank has more than $300 million in assets and capital.
“This is an important achievement for First Shore,” said Stickels. “And we very much appreciate the support of the Town of Millsboro and other local and state agencies in making it a reality.”
Among the highlights of the festivities was the contribution of $30,000 to several local community groups. “We believe that support of the community is a key part of First Shore’s mission,” said Marty Neat, the association’s president and CEO as he reminded the crowd of an upcoming community shred event Saturday, April 25, at the Millsboro branch on Washington Street.
