PAGE 4 -PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 Bank Opening Pleases Area J ... . * For several mohths, ex­ citement has been running rampant with the thought of Wonder Lake having a bank of its very own. Stocks were sold to members of the community with the idea that it would be a community owned bank, serving the needs of that same ! community. Then came the waiting period. Finally, on Sept. 28, the bank president, Mr.'Stephen Mitchell, along with the ; directors, went into Chicago to meet with the bank com­ missioner from Springfield, 111. ' They were then given the ; charter. Mr. Mitchell says that, unlike any other business, one does not just decide on a day to open. Banks have to go through many channels before okays are given. Consequently, he did not know himself that the bank would open on Monday, Oct. 22, until the preceding Friday. The drive-up window is in operation, and the other drive- up which has the tube- un­ derground to the teller, will be operating within a week. There will be an official ribbon cutting ceremony in November. CHRIST THE KING EVENTS Starting Saturday, Nov. 3, the evening Mass at Christ the King will be helcl at 5 p.m. in­ stead of 8 p.m. It was thought that with the coming winter months, an earlier Mass might be more convenient. Con­ fessions will be heard from 4:15 to 4:45 p.m. before the Mass. The Sunday Mass schedule will remain the same. For parents who are planning to have their children receive the sacrament off Reteon- cilliation, two meetings must be attended. They may attend the first meeting Tuesday, Nov. 6, or Thursday, Nov. 8. The same materia^ will be presented at both. The second meeting will be on Tuesday, Nov. 13, or Thursday, Nov. 15. All must attend one the first week, and one the second week. If anyone has questions regarding these meetings, call Sister Jeanne at 653-2581.
