2010 Greeters Archive

 On June 16, 2010, local business owners gathered at Tri Counties Bank in Palo Cedro for the bimonthly Palo Cedro Chamber of Commerce greeters.

Aaron Walton (photo–center), who has been the branch manager since Sept. 2008, boasts to fellow business owners about his fantastic staff at the bank. He also informed the group about a new auto buying service being offered called Tri Counties Bank, called Auto Express. “We will find the car you want for no fee.  Information will be entered on a computer on what kind of vehicle you are looking for and we have a gentleman that has access to a plethora of dealers and sources.  The price comes out lower than trying to do it yourself.  If you like, the car can then be delivered to your door,” said Walton. 

The bank lobby hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. Friday; the bank is closed Saturday and Sunday. (Drive-up hours are open a half hour earlier.) There is also a 24-hour walk-up ATM on the south side of the building.

Tri Counties Bank has 62 branches in 23 California counties. The Palo Cedro branch is located at 9125 Deschutes Road and readers can reach them at 547-4494.
