Years to date working at MHFCU: 7 1/2

Your employment anniversary at the Credit Union: April 19, 2004

What is your favorite service offered at MHFCU?

Bill Pay - I love never having to actually write checks. Especially since it's free when you sign up for e-Statements.

Credit Union, of course! They always have better services and rates, and much friendlier customer service.

Would you rather...

..be 3 feet tall or 9 feet tall?

I think I'd rather be 3 feet tall. 9 feet would probably send people running the other way!

..be a kid your whole life, or be an adult your whole life?

This is a tough one... If you were a kid your whole life, you would have no worries (outside of what kind of cereal you wanted to eat and which cartoon you wanted to watch). On the other hand, you would never experience true love or the joys of parenthood. I'm torn...

..always say everything on your mind, or never speak again?

Always say everything! For one, I LOVE to talk! Second, I usually hold back and I've always wished I could change that about myself.

What was your favorite cartoon when you were a kid?

Not really sure about a cartoon, but my favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz.

How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? (If you don't know, please do the research and get back to us.)

Methodist Hospice Residence Grand Opening!

MHFCU would like to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS! to Methodist Hospice Residence for their Grand Opening, which was held on June 29th.

The Methodist Hospice Residence is a state-of-the-art facility that is intended not only to attend to the physical needs of the terminally ill, but also to address the spiritual needs of both the patient and the family. Patients may bring personal belongings in order to add to the already home-like feel of the facility and family pets are even allowed to make visits.

MHFCU is proud to be a contributor to the building of this wonderful, one-of-a-kind facility and we wish them much success!
