Bank of the Islands Last Weekly Winner Announced

Laura correctly answered one of the daily Week 4 trivia questions, placing her name in the drawing. The daily trivia contests – celebrating all the things that make our barrier island community so special – has featured four weekly drawings and a soon to be announced grand prize drawing at the end of July.
