It's official, we are moving!

The location we have chosen is located at 3302 Mindi Lane. As indicated in our newsletter we needed to reduce expenses and this new location will help us reach this goal. What won't change is our commitment to personal service to you, our members.

Mindi Lane is located off Cork street and is east of Burdick. (unfortunately it is not marked on mapquest) The credit union will be located behind Gillespie Maintenance on the hill. Other land marks are the day old bakery and the Blossom Shoppe. We realize that this location may not be as convenient for some of our members and we apologize for any inconvenience you may experience with the move.

Our current lease expires October 31, 2006. Our current target date to be in the Mindi Lane location is October 2, 2006. We will keep you posted with our opening day when the time gets closer.

Dear Member,

I am writing this letter to you since you are a frequent Credit Union Family Service Center user. In our previous newsletter we informed you that starting September 1, 2006, we would begin charging a usage fee for service centers. You will be allowed one free transaction per month and then will be charged $4 per transaction after that. Some business that you conduct while at service center may actually be considered more than one transaction and you would be charged more than $4 for that visit.

I would like to recommend or remind you of some options that are available so you may not need to use service center as frequently.

Direct deposit of your pay check, social security, pension or income tax refunds will eliminate the need to deposit or cash checks. If you have small miscellaneous checks you should consider mailing them, they will usually be here in a day or two.

Consider an atm or debit card. You can deposit checks at many atms as well as withdraw money. The debit card can be used at an atm or in the checkout lane at most stores. Many stores provide the option of cash back with your transaction for that pocket money you may need from time to time. Debit cards are also very convenient at the gas stations where you can pay at the pump and avoid impulse purchases.

Our new location will be 3302 Mindi Lane which may be more convenient for you than our current location and/or the service center on South Westnedge. Also, many of our members are not aware that our hours are Monday and Thursday 9 am to 5:30 pm and Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 9 am until 4 pm.

Use home banking! This can help you with account transfers, loan payments, account history, loan applications and withdrawals by check made out to you. This service may help eliminate a trip to the service center.

If you find that any of these services can help you please give us a call and we will help you get started.

Sincerely,

Deborah Adams
