Dear Valued Member:
I hope you and your families are enjoying the summer months and everything this season has to offer – we sure are at Greater Alliance. As I noted in previous issues of our newsletter, summer is typically a busy time for us, enjoying the fruits of our labor during the winter months when we’re locked indoors fine tuning our financial products and services to serve you better.
We take great great pride in seeing our members get financially situated – whether it’s through our deposit accounts, various lending products or just simply seeking advice from any one of our staff. I continue to receive great feedback and I want to thank you for sharing them. Good feedback or otherwise, we like hearing from you. I read them all and it gives us an opportunity
to make the necessary adjustments to meet your needs.
At this time I would also like to inform you about our volunteer program that was created for our employees in conjunction with our Greater Alliance Hopes & Dreams Foundation for Children. Our Volunteer team headed by Ana Suarez, Stephanie Hanuman and Nilay Avichal has set up a calendar for the whole year and there is a new volunteer opportunity for the employees to participate every month. The programs range from the ARC walk to food drives to helping at a Veterans Home. Each program has a team leader, who helps to organize the volunteers for that event and oversees the event for that particular day. Some of the planned activities are just for the employees while other activities are for the whole family. For more information regarding our volunteer program please visit “The News & Announcement” section. This is fully aligned with the credit union philosophy of People Helping People and making a difference in people’s lives.
The economy continues to do well and it creates unique financial possibilities for our members. Perhaps it’s time to think about making your home work for you by taking a 2nd mortgage to help finance a variety of things – from consolidating and paying off those high-interest credit cards, to buying a car, doing some home improvements or perhaps taking that much needed summer vacation with the family.
I want to thank you for continuing to spread the word about the benefits of credit union membership with your families and friends. We are seeing a steady increase in our membership as more and more people join our cooperative and take advantage of what we have to offer.
There aren’t many financial institutions that have been around for as long as we have and as we mark our 81st year, I remain proud, grateful and humbled to have the privilege to serve you and work alongside a great team of talented individuals who unselfishly volunteer their time on our Board and Supervisory committee.
THANK YOU for being a part of Greater Alliance and THANK YOU for not keeping us a secret.
Have a fun and safe summer!
