Members’ Announcements Sandi Ogle is US Bank’s new Branch Manager. Congratulations to Sandi in her new position.
Sandi is a fifth generation Dent County resident, with two grandparents born and raised here. She has a large extended family in Salem. She grew up in St. Louis and lived in many different places while her husband was in military service. They chose to move back to Salem because it was the place they wanted to raise their children. As Branch Manager Sandi plans to focus on getting to know what folks in our local community need, particularly small business owners and use the resources of the second oldest bank in the country to help them achieve their goals. Sandi says to “Please stop in to see me about any needs that you may have or just to say ‘Hello’.”

2013 Official Missouri Travel Guide Now Available
Jefferson City, Mo. — If the approach of winter doesn’t already have you thinking about your summer vacation, the 2013 Official Missouri Travel Guide certainly will. The Missouri Division of Tourism (MDT) has published its 2013 Official Missouri Travel Guide, a carry-along travel-planning tool for visitors seeking information about the Show-Me State’s incredible lineup of attractions and destinations. The cover is an inviting scene showing a couple enjoying a beautiful sunset over the Lake of the Ozarks.
This annual publication offers information on thousands of Missouri tourism assets – from public tours and museums to live-show venues and ziplines – plus lodging options, golf courses, wineries, breweries, campgrounds, canoe outfitters and Missouri State Parks and Historic Sites. “The Missouri Travel Guide continues to be a popular and useful tool for travelers to enjoy,” says Katie Steele Danner, MDT’s director. “Missouri has a diverse tourism industry, and we’re pleased to share the Show-Me State with future visitors.” You can pick up a 2013 Official Missouri Travel Guide at a variety of locations across Missouri, including MDT’s seven Official Welcome Centers, MDT’s Affiliate Welcome Centers, local chambers of commerce, and convention and visitors bureaus.

In addition to listings of tourism-related businesses around Missouri, the Travel Guide includes color photos and feature stories on Missouri’s vacation regions. Other content focuses on made-in-Missouri products, regional dining options (with many favorites selected by MDT’s Facebook fans), and genealogy-research
facilities. For more information about the 2013 Official Missouri Travel Guide, or to schedule an interview with Tourism Director Katie Steele Danner, please contact Stephen Foutes at [email protected] or call 573-751-3208.
