SPEAKER/PROGRAM Becky Toothaker introduced Kurt Garascia, Assistant Vice President Asset Management Group at Norway Savings Bank. Kurt reviewed the credit crisis and the government response! The credit crisis is now one year old as of September 15th. A year ago is when Lehman Brothers announced they were filing for bankruptcy. At that time they were the 5th largest bank. The exposure was felt worldwide, even Norway Savings Bank has some exposure. 10/15/09: Spiritual Aims Committee |
