This is driven by our ability to secure sources of low cost funds and a strong liquidity position. We are fortunate to be able to rely on our local communities for a good share o f our funding needs,” said CFO, Mark Lemmon. Bailey went on to say, “The board of directors is continuing the safe and prudent course of building capital and aggressively addressing problem credits. While we are told that the national economy shows a glimmer of hope, the bank ing industry continues to work through the effects of the housing crisis. The unem ploym ent level in our state and especially in many of our counties will continue to inhibit regional economic recovery. The remainder of 2009 will be wrought with challenges. Turbulent economic times call for conservative ap proaches to how the bank is run. In light of this, the board of directors has voted not to pay a cash dividend for second quarter 2009.” For further infor mation on the company or to access internet banking, please visit BEO’s website at http://w w w .beobank. com.

Oregon East Symphony receives instrument donation The Oregon East Symphony has received a generous donation of six cellos and 10 violins with new cases and bows. The instrum ents were given by Lynn and Gail Nelson of Nelson Vio lins in Springfield.
