Kerndt Brothers Bank donates $5,000 to New Albin Splash Pad ...

Kerndt Brothers Bank in Lansing recently announced its financial commitment in the amount of $5,000 to support the New Albin Improvement League’s Splash Pad Project at the New Albin City Park. Pictured, left to right, are New Albin Improvement League Project Coordinators Betsy Whitlatch and Jessica Meyer and Kerndt Brothers Bank Branch Manager Connie Brown at the donation presentation.

Project coordinators hope to begin installation of a new wheelchair accessible splash pad along with many needed park improvements this summer. Their goal is to provide families in and around New Albin with a place for fun, healthy and interactive activities, giving families contemplating a move to New Albin the idea that their community is invested in families and their future.

James Kerndt, President and CEO of Kerndt Brothers Bank, stated, “This is the type of community investment we love to make. The playground Splash Pad project is an excellent example of local people and the City working together to enhance the quality of life for families in our area. Moreover, this community asset will attract visitors from northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin. We are pleased to make this investment in community recreation in New Albin.”

Funds are still needed for playground and basketball court improvements. Tax deductible contributions can be made to the New Albin Improvement League, P.O. Box 265, New Albin, Iowa 52160. Submitted photo.
