Kessler JEFFREY L. KESSLER has become the Lafayette Bank and Trust Company's new chairman of the board, rep lacing Robert J. Weeder who retired from the post at the end of the year.

Kessler has been on the Bank's Board of Directors since 1998 and has served as the Bank's Audit Committee chairman. He is co-owner of Stall & Kessler's Diamond Center.

Lafayette Bank and Trust Company serves Tippecanoe, Carroll, White, and Jasper counties and is a wholly owned subsidiary of First Merchants Corporation.

SUN & SUDS, 122 W. Columbia St., Flora, has been taken off the market and is no longer for sale. The business is now only a laundry; the tanning bed and bakery businesses have been closed.

Hours for the laundry have been expanded to seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Later hours will probably be put into effect during the summer.

Owner Pat Meade indicates that she will not be as involved in the business as she has the past few years when she and her late husband, Charlie Meade, ran the business. Dale Seward will be handling the day-today operations.

"The customers have been great and I thank them so much," said Meade. "Dale has agreed to help me out and will probably be more available than what I will be. Rest assured, we will be open as always."

Expanded vending items and more folding tables have been added. After hours washings are available by making arrangements with Seward by calling 812-988-8058.
