“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible financial institution in my district, 21st Century Bank. Beginning as the Farmer's State Bank of Cedar in Anoka County in 1917, it served the rural agricultural community and is one of the few banks to come through the Great Depression. Over 100 years later, the bank has expanded across Minnesota, opening locations all over our State, including four banks in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District. At the helm is Thomas P. Dolphin, who said: ``In the beginning, it was a handshake that sealed the deal, and that is still true today at 21st Century Bank.'' Having been at the bank for more than 40 years, Tom has been an integral part of transforming 21st Century Bank from a small rural bank with just $3 million in assets to an urban financial network with more than $425 million in assets, allowing them to serve more families across Minnesota. 21st Century Bank brings convenient banking and reliable service; and, indeed, most businesses that work with them are small- to medium- sized businesses, making 21st Century Bank part of the foundation of our local economy. After celebrating their 100th anniversary, they continue bringing families and small businesses the services they so desperately need. With respect and gratitude, thank you to the Dolphin family and to everyone at 21st Century Bank for your contribution to our local communities. We look forward to the next 100 years. Carver County, Healthiest County in Minnesota”
