|
|
|
CCCU is proud to announce the arrival of a new ATM/depository located at the Clark County Regional Government Center in Laughlin, Nevada. This marks our thirty-first ATM in Southern Nevada for members to access, in addition to over 30,000 free ATM’s nationwide through the Co-Op Network.
A ribbon cutting for the new ATM was held last month, and Clark County and CCCU employees joined in to mark the occasion. “The CCCU team realized that to serve our members’ needs all across Southern Nevada, we needed to provide the Laughlin community with extended access – we are happy to grow our connection with Clark County government employees,” said Matt Kershaw, Chief Executive Officer of CCCU.
In addition to the ribbon cutting, three Laughlin ATM users were selected to receive a $100 Amazon gift card just by being one of the first users. We are excited to be a part of the Laughlin community!

Tackle Personal Finance Projects During Quarantine
|
|
|
The quarantine brought about by COVID-19 has left many people home with extra time on their hands. With no sporting events, concerts or Summer blockbuster movies to watch, try to utilize this extra time to get your personal finances in order. We’ve compiled a list of a few projects that will help you achieve your short- and long-term financial goals.
Automate Bill Payments & Transfers
If you aren’t already automating your personal finances wherever possible, now is a good time to start doing so. You can set up automatic bill payment for most bills, and regular transfers into savings. This can be done through online banking. Setting these up now can save time in the future, help you avoid missing due dates on bills and build up your savings automatically.
Develop Investment Goals
You might not want to look at your investment portfolio right now, given the stock market’s response to the pandemic. This is, however, a good time to review your overall investment goals and strategy. The pandemic has made many people reconsider their priorities; take this time to research various investment strategies. Check whether your short-, mid- and long-term financial goals are still what they were pre-pandemic, and review strategies that can help you achieve each of those goals. You may want to consult a financial advisor at our credit union as you go through this process.

His favorite books are: Fearless by Eric Blehm, Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins, and Unbreakable by Thom Shea.

She’s been with CCCU for 21 years, and when not at work enjoys spending time with family, camping, and boating.

Outside of work, she and her family go hiking at Mount Charleston every Sunday! Her favorite quote: “Be kind to everyone, for everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.”

She’s been working for credit unions for 33 years and loves how members are treated like family. What she likes about CCCU is the stability. Her driving value is honesty.

The CCCU Cares Committee Supports Green Our Plant
|
|
|
Last month Green Our Planet (GOP) invited The CCCU Cares Committee to help raise funds to support their work. GOP provides hands-on STEM, nutrition, conservation and financial literacy education through school gardens and hydroponics for thousands of students.
To show our support, CCCU donated a barbeque-themed basket to be raffled off during the silent auction for the Monday’s Dark variety show benefit event. With support from CCCU and other community groups and members, they were able to successfully raise $10,000 towards their work.
Currently, more than 80,000 students are positively impacted by GOP’s school garden program, which is now the largest school garden program in America! With the pandemic, they have switched their model to teaching via the GOP Virtual Academy. CCCU is happy to support a great non-profit cause in our community!
