SPOTLIGHT SPONSOR HIGHLIGHTS Rhinebeck Bank Did you know that Rhinebeck Bank has one of the best local morning shows in town, Wake Up With Rhinebeck Bank? Michelle and Mark interview guests from the local community, including business owners, community leaders, local political figures and Rhinebeck Bank employees. On this episode, Angela Pless and Donna Harris from the US Postal Inspection Service are interviewed. This agency is one of the oldest federal law enforcement agencies in the country. It supports and protects the Postal Service from criminal attack. First established in the early 1700s when stagecoaches carrying mail were attacked by outlaws, early horseback-riding “good guys” were the precursors to current day Postal Inspectors. Fascinating. To submit to be a guest on the show, email PR@RhinebeckBank.com. Watch the Interview > Antalek & Moore Insurance Agency Thinking this weekend about a new career?
