Kristen Hermanson, Branch Manager with Fortifi Bank, has been a committed volunteer at Town Square Community Center since the beginning. She was inspired to help when Fortifi saw the overwhelming amount of support from the Green Lake community and decided to partner with the Town Square when it opened eight years ago.

“The staff at Town Square are always so fun and grateful when you are there to volunteer,” stated Kristen. “Staff at Fortifi Bank tries to help whenever, wherever, and however, it can. It truly takes the efforts of volunteers to make Town Square’s programs and events successful, and we want to be a part of that.””

 Kristen has been impressed with seeing what the building has become since the community center took over the vacated Green Lake County Courthouse campus in 2012. Over the years, she has seen numerous changes and renovations and the impact the community center programs have had on the local community. This includes Town Square’s support and resources to new or existing businesses through Town Square Business Solutions. Kristen wants to see that continue for everyone’s sake.

“2020 has been a challenging year for the team at the community center, but I love how they salvaged The Market at Town Square, Bingo at Harvest Fest, and various other programs and events,” says Kristen, Green Lake Branch Manager with Fortifi Bank. “They truly are a team who are looking out for the community and that is appreciated by so many.”

For years, Kristen has also been an active volunteer for the Boys and Girls Club of the Tri-County Area in Berlin, so she was very excited when the Club found a home at Town Square. She is already looking forward to helping out at the Green Lake location of the Club too!

Kristen added that the Town Square team has made it so easy and welcoming to help with their programs and events! She encourages anyone interested in volunteering to sign up for the Town Square eNewsletter or check their events calendar and ask how you can help. You will have fun while you’re doing it for sure!
