In former Bluffton News storefront

As a young girl, Meg Opperman came to Bluffton with her parents to attend movies at the Shannon Theatre, in the winter to view the Blaze of Lights and throughout the year for shopping.

On Saturday, the Lima resident became a Main Street business owner. She opened Wonderfully Made Boutique, housed in the front of the former Bluffton News storefront at 101 N. Main St.

The business offers women’s clothing, foot ware and accessories. And, with its soft opening on Saturday, the shop has had a steady stream of customers.

Lisa Rettig has been promoted to senior vice president and director of human Resources at Citizens National Bank, announced  J. Michael Romey, president and CEO.

In her HR role, Rettig is responsible for directing human resource activities related to talent acquisition, succession planning, employee relations, performance management, benefits administration, and training and development of the bank’s staff members.

A limited number of copies of the Bluffton history book “The Bluffton We Never Knew,” remain on sale, according to Fred Steiner of the Icon.

There are 15 books remaining to be sold and a reprint is not planned, according to Steiner.

“If you want a copy, you should buy it soon,” he said.

60-day project in Bluffton branch office

 There will be dust and a bit more noise around the First National Bank’s Bluffton office beginning today (Sept. 5)  but it will be worth it in the end. The branch will undergo a renovation for the next 60 days.
 
Once the construction is complete the branch will include more offices, a conference room and updated decor. FNB will also be introducing cash recyclers to assist the staff in quickly accepting and dispensing cash all while storing it securely between transactions.
