The six lucky winners received either an ice cream maker, a cooler, a grill, beach mats, a beach bag, or patio chairs. Here’s how: Determine how much to spend on gifts, cards, postage and shipping, food, entertainment, and decorations. It may help to review what you spent last year and plan accordingly, then with a holiday loan for the credit union, you can pay cash for these items. This has two benefits: 1. Money experts note that when you pay cash, you are much less likely to overspend than when you use a credit card. 2.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, November 11, Veterans Day, is a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. But while November 11 is a special day set aside to recognize our veterans, we really should be thanking them every day. If you are a veteran, please accept our deepest appreciation for all you have done to preserve our freedom and our way of life. Without you, it’s quite likely our everyday lives would be very different, Freedom is never free, and we are grateful for your having paid the price for us. Thank you for your contributions. Whether you have served in peacetime or wartime, you have made a difference in the lives of many.

But for you, and your fellow credit union members, it is. When you sign up for e-services, it’s not only easy to help the environment, but you will also be helping yourself and the credit union. Here’s how: When you go online to make a payment or to transfer funds, you save a trip to the credit union and the emissions that go along with it. Online services are available anytime, day or night, too, putting the credit union at your fingertips on your schedule, not ours. With e-Statements, you will receive an email alerting you that your statement is ready. Although you can print it out, there’s no need to. You can view it online and then save it to your desktop or a storage device, like a thumb drive. That saves paper and postage. And because your credit union is a non-profit financial cooperative, any savings are returned to you in the form of lower rates on loans, higher rates on savings, or better services. Plus, less paper means less clutter. To find out how to put e-Services to work for you and the environment, contact the credit union. Thank You to our Volunteer Board Members We appreciate you.
