COMMUNITY<br />
Sally Scott is <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s unoffi cial<br />
new-branch hostess. She has helped<br />
open fi ve of <strong>Resource</strong>’s seven branches<br />
over a period of thirty years. In that<br />
time she has seen the bank go through a<br />
name change <strong>and</strong> a brief period when its<br />
headquarters were temporarily housed in<br />
a trailer, during the construction of the<br />
fi rst Bethany building.<br />
Sally is currently on duty at the new<br />
Malta branch, doing what she does best—<br />
making sure <strong>Resource</strong> clients are greeted<br />
with a smile <strong>and</strong> ensuring that <strong>Resource</strong><br />
remains the place “where banking is a<br />
pleasure.”<br />
“We were First National <strong>Bank</strong> of Malta<br />
for many years,” Sally recalls. “We<br />
changed our name to <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> in<br />
January of 1988 because we wanted to<br />
communicate that we were a resource<br />
for the community <strong>and</strong> that we were<br />
resourceful. That’s how the new name<br />
came about.<br />
“We’re proud of all our branch buildings<br />
throughout the county. In designing<br />
<strong>and</strong> constructing these branches, we’ve<br />
always tried to remember that these<br />
structures are about more than just us.<br />
They are fi rst <strong>and</strong> foremost about the<br />
communities we serve, <strong>and</strong> our goal has<br />
always been to enhance the character of<br />
those communities through our choices.<br />
The Malta branch is very different from<br />
our other buildings, but I think it fi ts<br />
perfectly with a rural community.”<br />
The mural on the ATM<br />
pays homage to Malta’s<br />
prairie setting.
