Dear Friends of Lily's Fund:
We wanted you to be the first to know that the
second Lily's Luau was a HUGE success! A whole lot of time, energy,
concern, and compassion combined to raise more than $40,000 for epilepsy
research at the University of Wisconsin.
On Saturday evening, we announced our vision: to
fund a new research fellowship at the UW-Madison. This will bring bright
young scientists to the university and focus their energy on epilepsy
research -- “cracking the code" of seizures. We are well on our way to
making that vision a reality.
You are all a part of our journey toward a cure and
our much-needed message of hope for everyone who lives with epilepsy.
Thank you for joining us, whether by email, by luau, by phone or by
thoughts. If you have 3 minutes to spare, please watch the inspiring
video produced by John Roach Projects for Lily's Luau.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. To stay in touch with Lily's Fund in the coming months, you can find us on Facebook or Twitter, or just visit our web site from time to time: http://www.lilysfund.org

Oak Bank was proud to sponsor the "When You Wish Upon A Star" JDRF Gala, held on Friday, May 2, 2008 honoring Bob & Carol Gorsuch.

Congratulations
to Oak Bank CEO, Bob Gorsuch for being a part of the Race to Cure
Diabetes in Whitefish, Montana. Together with his daughter, Amy
Eager, and grandson, Prentice Eager, they raised over $22,000 for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) by each riding over 104
miles. They were a part of the Madison team of 22 riders that
together raised over $90,000 during the event.
CowParade 2006

many cities world-wide. After the Parade the cows were auctioned
with the proceeds benefiting the University of Wisconsin Children's
Hospital and other local charities. Here's Oak Bank's Cow

Share Your Holidays to Eliminate Hunger 2005
"Share Your Holidays to Eliminate Hunger" Celebrates its 10th anniversary. And, it's the year that, with your help, we will top 10 million meals raised since the campaign began.
The need for your help not only continues, but has increased. The poverty rate in Wisconsin is the highest it has been in 10 years.
In this state, tens of thousands of children and adults go to bed hungry every night. Food, along with clothing and shelter, are the most basic of human needs, and yet many truly do not know were their next meal is coming from.
When you help us raise meals during this campaign, you give hope to thousands of people who are distracted in their daily routines - whether it is at school, work or home--because they are hungry and physically and emotionally stressed to secure food. By providing meals and raising awareness of hunger, we can make a difference in our neighbors' lives.
Help us raise meals to ensure that in this land of plenty, all people have enough food to fill their plates and nourish their lives.
Congratulations to Mark Gustafson and Camee Compton who won the Hawaiian Cruise!

He treats his customers and staff like family, even at the bank where the smell of warm cookies makes you feel at home. He is committed to the community and has remained extremely successful in the ever-changing banking industry.
