      Said President and CEO E. George Koffler, “Bank 
      of Eastern Oregon celebrates its ten years in the Boardman market with 
      the opening of our new banking facility. The better location and 
      increased floor space positions us to better serve the expanding 
      commercial and consumer business in Boardman and development in the Port 
      of Morrow. We are proud to occupy an anchor location in the City Center 
      complex.”
    
    
      With a beautiful design by Sargent Architects of Hermiston and 
      construction by Mike Becker General Contractor, Inc. of LaGrande, the 
      single-story building features two drive-up banking lanes, each wide and 
      long enough for multiple vehicles, with a drive-up ATM and Night 
      Depository for customer convenience and safety. A high-ceiling banking 
      floor is flanked by an expanded lending platform and support areas. The 
      building design allows for expansion off of the wings as future needs 
      dictate. A week-long Grand Opening Celebration is set for February 
      11-15, 2008.
