Moola Movie POST

Miss Moola Moola gives some friends a high-five at Moola Movie Night. Hundreds of kids and their families came out for the annual free drive-in movie. Moola Movie Night is just another great benefit that comes with an SMB Moola Moola kids savings account.

SMB at MSSU

SMB helped support the lions by handing out Missouri Southern foam fingers to fans at a recent football game.

Maple Leaf Festival

Southwest Missouri Bank is proud to once again sponsor Carthage's Maple Leaf Festival Parade. The annual event brings upwards of 50,000 people to the Maple Leaf City. Our float this year featured the St. Louis Arch and the Jasper County Courthouse connected by Rt. 66. Of course, no parade would be complete without our children's savings program mascot Miss Moola Moola.

United Way Day of Caring

Emily gets taken on a wild ride to first base by Freddie during a game of beeper ball. SMBers joined up with kids from the Joplin Association for the Blind and played beeper ball. It’s like T-ball with a ball that, of course, beeps. Sighted participants are blindfolded while they are on the field. After the game we served lunch to the kids and some of the older folks that are served by JAB.

Watermelon Feed

SMB employees served up hundreds of pounds of watermelon at the Jasper Co. Youth Fair. Just another way we say thank you for making us the Favorite Of The 4-States, six years in a row.
