April CupboardScape

Today is Saturday 

Easter Eve.

I would normally have told you my

plans of taking FIL to the grocery store,

doing laundry or even what I was creating.

This weekend I volunteered to work.

Both Saturday and Sunday.

Now you might think I am crazy

working on Easter weekend.

Well since I will not have family over,

it will be a quiet one with just Bob and I.

I am not even baking a ham.

We will have a beef roast with all of the fixins.

I chose to work for a very good cause.

Some of you know that I am a banker.

Some even know the major bank I work for.

However I cannot tell you here.

I work in our loan department,

and all last week and this week

I have been taken from my normal job,

to train on how to review the 

many loan applications

for the government's paycheck protection program. 

This is the program where small businesses

with less than 500 employees can apply for loans.

Each Bank and Credit Union is tasked

to review these applications and documents

before sending to the SBA (Small Business Association) 

Owning a small business myself,

I know the importance of getting these 

loans reviewed in a timely manner,

so that these businesses can get

 their funds to stay open.

We ourselves have also applied at our local bank.

So you will find me not working on anything,

but will be at my computer,

going over paperwork for those who

need it most to keep our economy going

once we finally can re-open

across the country.

I hope you all enjoy your Easter Weekend!
