Union Bank Open House Celebration

On Thursday evening, Ken and I attended the reception celebrating the new Pacific Northwest Headquarters for Union Bank which was held in the Seond Avenue Atrium of the 1201 Third Avenue Building (previously WaMu Tower).  New member to the Union Bank team and ZINO Society member, Angie Schrimsher, invited us to the celebration where I also had the pleasure of meeting her boss, Jorge Flores, Union Bank Senior Vice President, who was visiting from Los Angeles.  We also had the opportunity to re-connect with Chris Merrywell, who is also a Union Bank Senior Vice President.

Union Bank President and CEO, Masashi Oka was there from San Francisco to greet the guests and present a check for $25,000 to support a YMCA program helping children at risk which Seattle Seahawks are also supporting.  Seattle Seahawks President, Peter McLoughlin, was there to celebrate the donation and took the opportunity to unveil the new Seattle Seahawks football uniforms which include a true navy blue jersey with touches of bright green and twelve feathers running down the sides of the pants which represents the "twelfth man".  He also presented a special commemorative football to Masashi Oka.

We enjoyed talking with several other friends there including Sue Camou of the YMCA, Brendan O'Farrell and Kathy & Jim Tune.  Congratulations to Angie, Jorge and all the folks at Union Bank!
