Grand Opening: Our Lakewood Ranch Financial Center

The biggest highlight of July was undoubtedly the opening of our brand-new Lakewood Ranch Financial Center!

We kicked things off with a Friends and Family Sneak Preview, where guests enjoyed exclusive first-look tours, delicious pizza, fun games, and exciting prize giveaways. It was an incredible opportunity to welcome the community, connect with local residents, and share a glimpse of what’s to come at our newest location.

From the warm turnout to the laughter and conversations shared, this event reminded us exactly why we do what we do—to support and grow with our community.

We also celebrated this milestone with members of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, two organizations that help make this area such a vibrant place to live and work. Over fresh brews and great chats at Bad Ass Coffee, we were able to connect with fellow business leaders and neighbors, reinforcing our commitment to being more than just a bank—we’re a partner in your local life.

We’re proud to officially call Lakewood Ranch home and can’t wait for what’s ahead!

Lauren Joins the Manatee Literacy Council Board

We were thrilled to share that Lauren, one of our very own, has been voted onto the Board of Directors for the Manatee Literacy Council! This incredible nonprofit is dedicated to helping adults in Manatee County improve their literacy skills, and Lauren's passion for service and community leadership makes her the perfect fit for this role.

Please join us in congratulating Lauren on this well-earned honor!

Celebrating Excellence:
Jackie Wins Super Allstar Award

In Bradenton, we took a moment to recognize another outstanding team member—Jackie, our Financial Center Manager at the Wildewood Office. Jackie received the Super Allstar Award for her unwavering dedication to our clients and team.

Her kindness, commitment, and can-do spirit uplift everyone around her, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her on our side. Thank you, Jackie, for everything you do!

Community Connections That Matter

We believe that strong communities are built through real relationships—and sometimes, that starts with a great cup of coffee. This month, we joined the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance for a networking morning at Bad Ass Coffee, where we enjoyed meaningful conversations with local professionals and business leaders.

It’s these small but powerful moments that help us stay connected to the communities we serve.

Wrapping Up July:
A Month of Momentum

Whether we’re expanding into new neighborhoods, supporting literacy and leadership, or recognizing excellence within our team, July was a testament to what Liberty Savings Bank is all about: people, purpose, and progress.

To everyone who joined us, supported us, or celebrated with us—thank you. We're just getting started, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.

Stay tuned, Lakewood Ranch. We’re here for good.
