PLUMAS BANK RAISES MINIMUM WAGE
In a recent press release, Plumas Bank announced it is raising its minimum wage to $15/hour, effective immediately. The press release stated the bank’s record profits as well as the positive impact of the tax reform legislation passed at the end of 2017 allowed for the increase to occur.
Andrew Ryback, director, president and CEO said, “We are delighted to recognize and reward our team members who strive each day to serve our clients well, build strong relationships in our communities and create long-term value for our shareholders.” Ryback added that this was another example of Plumas Bank living up to its philosophy and motto, “Here For Good.”
BOOK SIGNING THIS SATURDAY
David Teeter at Margie’s Book Nook tells us he’s pleased to announce that from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, they will be hosting the premiere release book signing for Laura Kay Tew. Tew will be featuring her two personal growth books “Peace Be With Us All” and “Healing the Grief Within.” “Tew has been our client and our advertising consultant with the Lassen County Times for 25 years and we’re very excited to support her in bringing these short, but highly inspirational books to the public,” according to Teeter.
“Peace Be With Us All” is a spiritual leadership message based upon her interpretation of the “Law of Success” by the late Father of Motivation, Napoleon Hill. Her full color book “Healing the Grief Within” offers individuals facing adversity food for their soul as they travel on the path of overcoming any type of loss and healing from trauma. She shares her personal insights on the life lessons she’s learned from the death of several of our local residents and how to use natural nurturing solutions for moving through the pain of loss.
“I’m very excited to have collaborated with Peter Harvey, a professional photographer with Speyside Images in Scotland, who provided several original pictures of the countryside which were converted to watercolors for “Healing the Grief Within,” Tew tells us. She also inspired the meditation music he wrote titled “LK2,” which was featured on his recently released CD “From A Deeper Well,” which is available at pharveymusic.com.
“As an adult living with ADHD, it has been a great challenge to channel almost two decades of creative ideas into these books and finally see these projects come to fruition,” she tells us. Having faced a lifetime of unique experiences and overcoming many adversities, Tew shares with her readers easy-to-apply ideas for learning to be the best you can be, regardless of your age, race or level of education. She’s also put together some special tranquility treat thank you gifts for folks attending the book signing. So be sure to stop by and pick up your copies today made available at her favorite bookstore, Margie’s Book Nook.
