Note from the President

As part of a member-owned financial cooperative, you have an exciting role to play in the success of your credit union. You have a voice, and your vote counts. It’s like no other type of financial institution – and certainly not like a big, national bank, where the voices of the stockholders are the only ones heard. Here at your credit union, you really and truly matter.

We celebrate that fact each year here at PFCCU at our Annual Meeting and Celebration.We really hope that you will join us for this special event.We will hear the results of the elections to our Board of Directors and volunteer committees – the people you had a say in electing to these positions of leadership. You will also hear about our fantastic success this year, enjoy a hearty meal and have the opportunity to win some great prizes among friends. It’s one of my favorite times of year, and I’m happy to share it with you all.

Another great thing about PFCCU’s annual meeting is that it gives us an opportunity to look toward the future. And as far as I can see, it’s pretty bright out there. Thank you for helping us build such a bright future for us all – and for trusting PFCCU as your financial partner.

Money & Stuff

I have changed my Broker Dealer from Cambridge Investment Research Inc. to B & I Co. So, all of you who have investment products with me got a “none response” letter from Cambridge telling you of my move. This move is just an administrative change for me and does not affect your accounts at all. Sooooo if any of you that work with me contacted Cambridge and told them that you wanted to stay with Cambridge, then I am no longer getting information on your investments. If you want me to get the info and you want to stay with me, all you have to do is come in and sign a change of Representative form and that will get your accounts back to me and it will be as nothing ever changed. Your statements should be coming from “B & I Co.”, not Cambridge. If you did nothing, than everything is just as it was before.We tried to make this as confuuuuusing as possible and if you really do understand all of this, well we will just have to make some more changes. I really don’t think many of you are still with Cambridge, but if you think you are, just call me.

Kadie, Ethan, and Tyler are all just fine and getting big too fast! All are different as night and day and all EXCEPTIONAL!! Kadie is writing books and poems (some are a little hard to read). Ethan is all about “power rangers” and Tyler really enjoys the fish at bass pro. If you do not have grandkids, you just don’t know how good life can be!!!

I still think the markets will be down for the rest of this year, but that may mean a buying opportunity for some of you. It’s good to remember that all of that money you are putting into your 401(k) plans and other systematic investments is buying low. If you have questions or concerns about your investments come in and see me. Everyone needs to know what his or her money is doing, so remember that an annual review is always a VERY GOOD idea. I am here to help you at no cost to you. Just another advantage of Credit Union membership.

Investments are not NCUA insured, not credit union guaranteed and may lose value. Registered Representative, Securities offered through B & I Co., a Broker/Dealer, Member NASD/SIPC Investment Advisor Representative, B & I., a Registered investment Advisor.
