Bring your pennies, nickels, dimes & quarters (and those rare 50 cent pieces) to Lakeside Bank! We’ll count’em up for free! And turn them into nice, crisp, paper money for you. Other banks may not offer coin counting. If they do, they may charge you! Coin counting is always free at Lakeside. So grab your pudgy piggy banks, your massive mayonnaise jars, the collected change from under the couch cushions … and come on in to the Lakeside Bank branch near you! And Uncle Sam needs your coins! There’s actually a shortage!
Our 15th Annual Concert in the Park was held under sunny skies on Wednesday, July 13 at Women's Park in the South Loop. And surprisingly for mid-July, it was cool! Especially once the sun went down.
Our neighbors, and a LOT of their children, were out in force EARLY! We had a park full an hour before the start. Fortunately, there was a reptile petting zoo and a drum circle to keep the kids occupied. Along with Lakeside Bank face painting ... and our famous Spinning Wheel! There were a lot of fun gifts on the spinning wheel for the kids. And parents, we apologize if one of those gifts, "Slime", proved to be a mess!
VanderCook College of Music did their usual INCREDIBLE job ... there was jazz, marches and classical music. Parents and children alike enjoyed.
We easily had 500 people. Including the small humans.
Thank you for coming out, everyone. We LOVE sponsoring the annual Concert in the Park!

We served The Original Rainbow Cones to all, at our Lakeside Bank Elmhurst branch! It was free! It was fun! It was fabulous and delicious! Plus, we had face painting, balloon animals and games!
We held two great Shred Events this Spring at our Elmhurst branch on May 16, 2022 and our South Loop branch on May 7, 2022. We collected and shredded nearly 6,000 lbs of paper combined at both locations!
1,000 pounds of paper was recycled at our first Shredding Event at our Michigan branch on Saturday, September 12th. The rain didn’t slow folks down—we had 75 people walk or drive over with their boxes full of personal documents to shred! Several arrived early in anxious anticipation! We plan to offer more Shredding Events at multiple branches this spring.
On September 9 we kicked off the start of the Bears season with a tailgate party in the South Loop parking lot. Over 100 guests filled the lot that was complete with a giant screen featuring the Bears vs Packers game. While the Bears did not win their home opener, mingled and enjoyed the buffet BBQ. A visit from Don “Da Coach” Fueling provided added entertainment.
On December 8th Lakeside welcomed families to the South Loop and Elmhurst branches to take photos with Santa. We saw young and old, two legged and four legged, all come in to enjoy the festivities and avoid the long lines at the malls to meet Santa. Such events bring people in, and show that Lakeside is more than a bank- we are a member of the community, dedicated to personal service and becoming an integral part of our clients’ families.
