A special visit from Flambeau!
December 18, 2024
The Flambeau School's 2nd Grade class had their annual field trip to visit Ladysmith Federal! Throughout the school year, 2nd graders collect coins that they exchange at the bank to buy Christmas presents for our local nursing home residence. During their visit, students learned about the coin counting machine, how the bank keeps money secure, enjoyed a sweet treat, & were read a story about saving money. We're already looking forward to next year!

They read the book "A Boy, a Budget, and a Dream" written by Jasmine Paul. The students learned about saving money, creating a plan, and sticking to it and discussed what they can do at home to earn money to help them work towards meeting their savings goals.

90 Years of service in Rusk County
2024 marks our 90th anniversary at Ladysmith Federal. We have been servicing Ladysmith and Rusk County since 1934 and today we remain Rusk County's only locally-owned financial institution. In 2023, we ranked #1 as Rusk County's top mortgage lender and hope to remain a leader in 2024. We continue to give back to our communities though volunteer and financial contributions. We awarded 8 scholarships to graduating seniors at all four area high schools and contributed to the Ladysmith and Flambeau athletic departments HUDL cam programs.
2024 promises to be another year of uncertainty, both economically and politically. But you can be certain that Ladysmith Federal will be here and ready to help you with your financial needs and goals as we have for the past 90 years.
Look for more details over the upcoming weeks and months on how we will be celebrating this milestone!
