Letter From The President
I hope you all had a great summer! As we are shifting gears and preparing for winter, I want to encourage you to let us help you with all your financial needs during this next season and beyond.
The holidays are just around the corner. This is not only a busy time of the year, but it may also cause financial stress. To assist with alleviating the cost of gift giving all at once, I encourage you to open a Christmas club to save money for the holidays. You can have a portion of your direct deposit go into this account. To save a trip to the post office and store, you can purchase stamps for your Christmas cards right here and Visa Gift Cards if you can’t find that perfect gift for someone. Of course, there is no better gift than a credit union membership. We welcome all your family and friends to experience the benefits of being a credit union member.
Throughout the year, the credit union staff have worked very hard to accomplish our strategic plan set by the Board of Directors. I am very excited to announce that the mobile wallet and contactless (tap pay) will be available by the end of this year!
We have made great strides from product development to technology development and there is so much more on the horizon for 2026.
As owners, it is important that you play a part in shaping the future of the credit union. I want to ensure we are heading in the direction you want to go. Please feel free to call me if you want to share any ideas on what we can do to serve you better. Thank you for being part of our credit union journey!
Serving you,
Toni J. Winskas-President
