Dear Member/Owner:
All around me, now that summer is in full swing, I continue to see reminders of God’s guiding hand in nature, in our communities, and in the work of our credit union. At America’s Christian Credit Union, I am constantly humbled and awed to be part of something much bigger than any one of us.
Look around you -- the signs of summer can’t be missed!
The warmth of the summer sun serves as a constant reminder of God’s ever abiding presence in our lives. His provision, grace, and goodness inspire us to continue our mission to “Reach, Serve and Teach”.
The exciting “Congratulations” calls we made to four very deserving winners of our Annual Scholarship Program proved to be one of my biggest summer highlights. And the recent sight of so many high school and college graduates, full of knowledge and youthful enthusiasm as they enter the working world, brings to mind the Student Accounts that help make the transition even more solidified. Our goal in offering these accounts is that they will be a convenient way for these young men and women to get acquainted with the great products and superior service that ACCU provides!
The 4th of July holiday is one of my favorites! Barbecues, fireworks, and family gatherings, all wrapped up in the red, white, and blue of our great country. As your credit union’s President, I feel proud and privileged that we partner with churches and ministries in providing financing and investment services in all 50 states from coast to coast!
And of course, to our children, summertime means that school is out! Families can use the summer months to spend more time together at home and perhaps, God willing, making memories in fun-filled vacation destinations. To me, the thought of Christian families always brings to mind our Adoption Loan Program, a sacred trust which has helped dozens and dozens of our members meet the financial challenge of adding a precious child to their growing family.
Whatever Summer 2010 has in store for you, I thank you for your membership. Be proud of the fact that we continue to maintain an outstanding strategic position, a great brand with strong character, a passionate staff and a remarkable future. I trust that ACCU will be part of making your summer daydreams become reality. May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you always!
In His service,
Mendell L. Thompson
President/CEO
