April News

Solar Eclipse 2024

A good friend from the credit union world recently commented that he is not very eclipsey. It made me laugh because I, too, was unimpressed with the upcoming event. But now that’s all changed. Everyone is coming together in our community backyard to enjoy something quite special. We’ll be closing at 1:00 pm on April 8th so that our employees can get home and avoid getting stuck in traffic. It’s kind of like a Bill’s game on steroids or so they say! You can access your accounts online, apply for a loan, or pay your bills like any other day of the week. I hope you will enjoy the eclipse safely. We’ll all have a story about where we were on April 8, 2024. I wish good weather for all and plenty of moon pies!
