Frank Smith is Chamber Board Treasurer L ooking to get away from the rain, traffic jams, and the big city life, Frank moved from Seattle, Washington to Lander in July 2008.

Moving into banking in 1994, he first worked as a loan officer before assuming the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a small community bank. For the last 16 years, including his current position at Central Bank & Trust, he has worked as the CFO for banks in Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming ranging in size from two Page 8 branches and $40 million in assets to seven branches and $325 million in assets. When not working, Frank enjoys fishing, backpacking, golfing and bowling. He also collects coins, military memorabilia, and sports cards.

Lander Elks help with food basket drive Each year, the Lander Elks Lodge 2317 helps the needy families of Lander through the annual food basket drive. More than 250 baskets full of food and toys will be delivered in the area this Christmas. The Elks Lodge holds fundraisers throughout the year and with the money raised buys the turkeys for each basket along with toys for the children. Cabin Fever Books also donates gifts through their annual Angel Tree program. Elks members and their families deliver the baskets, this year on Dec. 18 starting at 11 a.m. This is the only delivery time so families need to be home at this time. If you can’t be home call Elks member Deanna Green at 332-6905 or Nancy Sniffin at 332-2881. Needy families are found through the schools, churches or other offices in Lander. Forms will be handed out to students at each of the Lander elementary schools. People can submit their own name to receive a basket or other families who need help. Forms are available at the One Stop Help Center, DPASS, CDS and Head Start, just to name a few. To submit a family’s name, call Deanna Green at 332-6905 or Nancy Sniffin at 332- 2881 before Wed., Dec. 14. Names will be kept confidential. Food can also be donated at Light Up Lander on Friday, Dec. 2, 5-6:30 p.m., at Centennial Park. People are encouraged to come and donate canned goods. For every item of food donated, people will receive a raffle ticket to be used for drawings to win bikes and other valuable prizes. Santa will visit, too. Toys are purchased based on age and gender, newborn to 18 years, with an average of three toys per basket. With 250 baskets filled, there are about 750 toys distributed. Elk members work hand-in-hand with Pamida, which fulfills the toy orders. The Elk members then gift wrap the toys and gets them ready to go to each family. The Wyoming State Elks Association’s mid-winter meeting will be in Lander in January. The meeting will bring in 250+ Elks and their families to Lander for the three-day event.
