Dollar Dog Corner
Thanks to all the Dollar Dog
Club members who came out to help Dollar Dog celebrate his birthday
at Hulen Park. It was hot, steamy and eventually rainy, but everyone
had a fun time jumping in the bounce houses and enjoying some
great breakfast foods.
Hey Dollar Dog Kids! I just
wanted to let you know that we will not be having a Halloween
Party this year at MCU. Since we now have two branches and there's
only one of me, I can't be in both places at the same time on
the same day.
However, the great news is
that we will be having a combined Christmas Party for both branches.
The party is planned for
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 and will be held at the Joshua
Community Center
right in front of the Joshua High School. There will be food,
fun, a giant stocking give-away, and a special gift for each
and every one of my club members. So put it on your calendar
and watch for your invitation in the mail and be sure to
respond and let us know you are coming so that I am sure
to have enough
food and gifts for everyone!
Also, coming up during the
month of November we will be having double punch month again!
So for every $5 you deposit to
your account you will get two punches instead of one! So
save up
that change and get ready to make those deposits!
MCU’s Investment Representative
Surpasses Expectations
Doug Roberts was introduced in last quarter’s
newsletter as MCU’s new Investment/Business Services Officer.
Doug has well surpassed management’s expectations in investment
volume.
According to Ron Fox, MCU’s President & CEO, “creating
an in-house investment representative position was a bold move,
considering that credit unions much larger than us have never
done it before. We had to work out a lot of internal details
that we never had to worry about before. And by hiring Doug as
our own employee, we take on more risk as well. But Doug has
turned out to be a great asset for MCU. He is extremely sharp
and knowledgeable; I have already asked for his advice myself.
He not only has handled more investments for our members than
I ever thought he would in this short period of time, he has
contributed a great deal to our business account relationships.
He recently set up a Simplified Employee Pension plan for one
our business members, so he has helped that business and their
40 or so employees tremendously. Those employee’s greatly
appreciate their employer doing that, and hopefully we have forged
a relationship with a great business that will last a long time.
I know there are so many options for our members when it comes
to any financial service. I just hope our members think of us
and realize that being an owner really does make a difference.”
