Frontier Bank has, once again, scheduled its popular annual Economic Forecasts for 2002. The bank has conducted the program in the areas it does business for a number of years. However, this year will mark the first for Kitsap County since Frontier bought out North Sound Bank.

The event will take place on Thursday, Feb. 7 at the West Coast Silverdale Hotel. The program will also begin at 7:30 a.m.

Michael Parks, Editor and Publisher of Marple’s Business Newsletter will be the featured speaker as he presents his economic outlook for 2002.

Stated Barbara McCarthy, Senior Vice President of Marketing, “These very popular annual events are one component of Frontier Bank’s “Business Connection,” our outreach program designed for business clients. We are certain that this year’s Economic Forecast will be one that is of interest to everyone, and we encourage early reservations.”

The free program, which includes a continental breakfast, is open to all. For reservations, call Shelley Eckstrom at (360) 598-8006.
