MEETING WINTER 2015 EDITION 2 0 1 6 Annual Save the Date: March 15, 2016 Attention Credit Union Shareholders (ahem: that’s you)! The credit union’s annual meeting is coming up, and you’re invited to join us. That’s because as a member/owner of the credit union, you’re a shareholder. That’s one of the key differences between your credit union and the bank down the street. The bank has stockholders and exists to make them a profit. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, your credit union exists to serve you. So make plans now to attend the annual meeting. Hear about how we fared in 2015 and what’s on tap for 2016. Meet the board of directors - the people you’ve elected to represent your best interests. Enjoy refreshments and visit with fellow members. The annual meeting is a credit union tradition. We hope you’ll be able to participate. Nomination Procedures for the 2016 Annual Meeting, March 15, 2016 The Nominating Committee for the 2016 Credit Union Annual Meeting was appointed in October 2015.

A brief statement of qualifications was included for each nominee submitted by the Nominating Committee. Nominations for vacancies may also be made by petition signed by 1% of the members. Each nominee by petition must submit a similar statement of qualifications with the petition Nominations by petition must be filed with the secretary of the credit union at least 40 days before the annual meeting.

We can’t help you complete those holiday chores, but we can give your budget a break with Skip-A-Payment. Skip-A-Payment allows you to defer payment on certain consumer loans. Help yourself to some extra spending money when you take advantage of this option. Borrowers in good standing with qualified loans may defer their loan payments. So this holiday season, take the break you deserve. Contact the credit union about how you can Skip-a-Payment. Then relax. It really can be the most wonderful time of the year to spend with your family and friends. Nearly 30,000 ATMs. Over 5,000 Branches. Just look for the CO-OP logo. SAME ATMS AND BRANCHES.

Join Our Christmas Savings Program If your 2015 holiday expenses caught you off-guard, here’s a way to be better prepared for the 2016 holiday season: Sign up for the Christmas Savings Program at the credit union. By joining, you’re earmarking funds that will help you take those extra holiday expenses in stride. Even tucking away a small amount adds up. For example, saving $15 a week for 48 weeks means you’ll have $720 when December rolls around. Save $25 a week for 48 weeks and collect $1,200 - yours to spend on gifts, decorations, entertaining, traveling, whatever holiday expenses come your way. Make things easier when you put your Christmas Savings Program on autopilot. Sign up for an automatic transfer or payroll deduction. It’s absolutely true that what you don’t see, you don’t miss. Contact the credit union to get started today. As we close the books on 2015 and look forward to 2016, we would be remiss if we didn’t take a moment to say “Thank You Members!” We truly appreciate your being a part of the credit union family. Without our valued member/owners, we would not exist. You’re putting into action what Roy Bergengren, one of the founders of the U.S. credit union movement, described when he called credit unions a demonstration of “the practicality of the brotherhood of man.” As a financial cooperative, your credit union relies on savers to provide the funds for borrowers. When you participate in all the benefits of belonging, you help make the credit union stronger. Thanks for being a member and for your business. We wish you a prosperous, happy, and healthy 2016. The Last Word The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
