Congratulations: $1,300 Scholarship Recipient
Lincoln Goodyear Employees Federal Credit Union member Melanie Newell, Granddaughter of Ray Porath, was the winner of the Lincoln Chapter of Credit Unions 2003 Credit Unions for Higher Education Scholarship Contest.

Melanie’s essay touched on how she grew frustrated with banks that charged high fees and service charges and didn’t receive the personal attention she expected. She also wrote that her Grandfather Ray Porath, and long time member of the credit union since 1960, heard her frustrations and convinced her to join the credit union. “Members benefit from the credit union in many ways. You can depend on the Credit Union and know you will get honest and truthful service,” said Ray Porath.

Her Grandfather’s advice really stuck with Melanie. “The words of “trust” and “helping people” really meant something to me,” she said about her Grandfather’s experience with the credit union. She took her Grandfather’s words of advice to heart and became a credit union member. Now, when she needs to conduct financial business she looks forward to the personal service and the attention she receives. “Every time I walk in I am greeted with a smile. Everyone is very nice and they make you feel like you are part of the credit union. I will be a credit union member for life,” Melanie said with a smile. “I hope other members continue to get their family members involved with the credit union. It is a great place to do business,” she added.

Melanie is currently a sophomore at the University of NE studying Psychology and Peace Studies. She is applying to a private Liberal Arts college in Minnesota to continue her education in Peace Studies.

In addition to her studies and work, Melanie is also very active in the community. She takes pride in being a positive role model and is involved with the local Mentoring Program for Junior High students.

The credit union volunteers, management and staff would like to congratulate Melanie and wish her luck in your continued education!

Your credit union has proudly served members since October 5, 1955 and has built many professional and personal relationships during this time. These strong relationships helped establish a tradition of encouraging family members to join the credit union.

There are now second and third generation members enjoying the benefits from credit union membership. “This is a sign that a very strong tradition of loyalty and ownership has been established throughout the years,” said Mary Sailors, Vice President of Operations.

The credit union has embarked on an exciting path built by a strong foundation of tradition of loyal members. The credit union is now open to “those who live, work, worship, or attend school in Lancaster County, NE.” This is a new and exciting time for the credit union. “Our core Goodyear employee membership will always remain very important to us and our mission remains to help all members. Our efforts to assist members from all groups will not diminish,” said Jerry Barnett, President. “This provides the new members with the opportunities to grow and build on the strong tradition in which existing members have grown to appreciate and take pride,” said Roger Smid, Marketing Director.

Please share the credit union tradition with your family, neighbors and community! They can benefit from credit union membership only if they know they are eligible to join. Share your experiences and enthusiasm for your credit union, and they will thank you.
 
Continue to build or encourage your family members and neighbors to strengthen a tradition and share your credit union experience.
