-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  | Redmond announces First State Bank of Campbell Hill ground breaking
01/11/2012
Waukesha, WI, January 11, 2012 --- The Redmond Company is pleased to announce the ground breaking of an addition and remodel to First State Bank of Campbell Hill’s main office located at 114 W. Front Street in Campbell Hill, IL. The addition will create a full-service 7,100 square foot bank and operations center.
Construction will occur in phases to ensure customers have safe and convenient access to all banking services. The new lobby will showcase some of the newest banking trends and equipment, including an inviting curved teller line addressing the entry, a refreshment area with a convenient mobile cart for flexibility during community functions, and an internet kiosk, featuring the bank’s online services.
The addition will be dramatically offset from the existing building, establishing a new branch entry point and an inviting courtyard. The existing drive-up will be relocated to the new addition and expanded to meet the current and future operational and customer needs. The drive-up will feature a new commercial window and pneumatic tube, in addition to a drive-up night depository.
The exterior of the new building addition is designed to seamlessly blend with the existing building. The material selections, scale, and lines of the new addition are all formulated to create a sense of “oneness” or simply “that it was always there”.
The ground breaking was held on November 30, the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2012.

 | Mark Redmond Peruvian Fund-Part 1
12/04/2007
In addition to his successes in the commercial development industry, Mark Redmond was also a passionate volunteer and serviceman. In the summer of 1998, Mark was president of the parish council at St. Anthony on the Lake in Pewaukee. While serving on the council, Mark met Father Joseph Uhen, a Milwaukee native and an ordained Peruvian priest. Mark and Father Tom Venne, pastor of St. Anthony’s, met to discuss the possibility of creating a sister-parish relationship between St Anthony’s and Piura, Peru. The “Family-To-Family” program was thus created at St. Anthony’s, and quickly became Mark’s new passion in life.
Mark and Father Uhen worked closely on a number of projects and together much progress was made. Today there are over 370 Peruvian families sponsored by parishioners from St. Anthony’s and several other parishes. Since 1999, a group of parishioners makes a mission trip to Peru every year. Father Uhen’s parish, consisting of 24 nearby villages, currently includes several chapels and has now grown to over 40,000 parishioners. The overwhelming majority of these parishioners are impoverished.
Mark Redmond faced his biggest challenge in life in the spring of 2003 when he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. Mark’s wife Kay, along with their two children Ryan and Kristie, cared for Mark at home. In June of 2005 he was admitted to Angels Grace Hospice. While at Angel’s Grace, Mark found peace and dignity in his final weeks of life. During this time, he and Kay were discussing how difficult it must be for the sick and dying of Piura to go through the same difficult death without the care and comfort of such a facility. It became clear to the family that a hospice should be built for the poor in Mark’s memory.

 | Mark Redmond Peruvian Fund-Part 2
12/03/2007
Mark Redmond passed away in June 2005. In lieu of flowers, the Redmond family requested donations go to the Mark Redmond Peruvian Fund for the building of a hospice in the Peruvian desert. Due to the generosity of so many beloved family members, business associates and personal friends, the funding of such a place became possible. Ryan moved to Piura to oversee the project and construction began in the fall of 2006. By August 2007 the hospice was complete and the first patients were admitted. Family members are encouraged to stay in adjoining rooms and help care for their dying loved one. The hospice charges no fee and the surrounding villagers donate meals and volunteer their time to clean and visit with patients. Nurses are sponsored by friends and family here and several local Peruvian physicians volunteer their services. Twenty rooms surround a private courtyard setting with a beautiful chapel in the center.
Mark and his family believe that no one should die alone and everyone deserves the basic comforts during their last days on Earth. Thanks to a dream and so many generous friends, this final journey on Earth is now one with dignity and grace.
