Congratulations to Featured Member, Laura Bell of Lincoln. Laura and her family have been members of MembersOwn Credit Union for nearly 29 years.

“Over the years I have worked with MembersOwn personally and professionally as a commercial real estate broker with Commercial Realty Group, LLC,” she says. “They have never let us down with the products and services they provide.”

Laura and her family have used the credit union’s services since her husband, Doug, worked for Lincoln Telephone Company. They use checking, savings, line of credit and car loan services. Laura says, “Soon we will have a home mortgage with MembersOwn too, as this is a new product they are starting to offer.”

The Alzheimer’s Association – Great Plains Chapter is the charity Laura picked to receive a donation given by MembersOwn on her behalf in appreciation of her being a Featured Member.

“I have a business client whose wife has Alzheimer’s and she is only 53 years old. This really hit home as this is my age,” Laura explains. “According to a new study by the nonprofit RAND Corp, Alzheimer’s is one of the most costly diseases to society. It is my desire that this gift be used to help fund a cure.”

The Alzheimer’s Association – Great Plains Chapter serves and advocates for an estimated 33,000 Great Plains residents struggling with Alzheimer’s or related dementia. The association’s mission is to eliminate the disease by advancing research, enhancing care for those affected and promoting brain health.

Thank you, Laura, for helping us give to this important cause that matters to you!

Featured Members, Patty and Paul Kaufman of Beatrice, have a history of keeping great relationships.

Patty says, “My husband and I have been married 20 years, and Paul was a member for probably 10+ years before that.” Making them MembersOwn Credit Union members for more than 30 years! Patty, Paul and their family have found our savings accounts and car loans to be very helpful. Patty also likes the handiness of our shared branching network across the nation. She says, “It is convenient for me.” And that is music to our ears.”The people make it so easy to do business; they are knowledgeable and professional,” Patty says. “They are great at having the paperwork ready and that is important to our busy family.”The Beatrice Backpack Program is Patty and Paul’s charity of choice to benefit from MembersOwn’s donation – given on their behalf as Featured Members.

This initiative to provide food to families during the school year was started by Patty’s Leadership Beatrice class in 2009.”We believe in the program because it is needed in our community where many children get their only nutritious meals from the free breakfast and lunch programs at school.” Alleviating child hunger in Southeast Nebraska by providing children and their families with nutritious and easy to prepare meals when other resources aren’t available is the mission of the Beatrice Backpack Program.Thank you, Patty and Paul for helping us give to this important cause that matters to you!

Merri Hackbarth has been a member of MembersOwn Credit Union for more than 30 years. She says, “MembersOwn has helped us through most of our life stages – just starting out in life with little or no credit, to young adults raising a family and now as empty nesters.”

MembersOwn has been there for the Hackbarth’s over the years with checking, savings, loans, credit cards and most recently a home improvement loan. Merri and her family keep coming back because they “trust” MembersOwn to help them with their financial needs.

“The people at MembersOwn Credit Union take the time to help you figure out what option is best for you and your family,” Merri says. “Sometimes it is something you had not even thought of. This comes from experience and working with individuals not just numbers.”

As a Featured Member, Merri chose Domesti-PUPS as her charity of choice to benefit from MembersOwn’s donation. This service organization improves the quality of life for persons with special needs through the assistance of animals and promotes awareness through education.

Merri selected Domesti-PUPS because she has seen first hand the difference a service dog can make in a person’s life. She says, “These dogs bring independence and security to individuals with disabilities… they save lives.”

Thank you, Merri, for giving us the opportunity to support an important cause that matters to you!

Yolanda Papke is one of our long-time members who started as an Aliant Credit Union member in 2001 and has been with us ever since. When Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph/Aliant Credit Union merged with Southeast Nebraska Federal Credit Union in 2008, they became MembersOwn.

Since her first car loan, Yolanda has been hooked on MembersOwn. She and her family now have checking and savings accounts and a secured loan here. She says, “I really like that MembersOwn is so willing to help you with your finances when you need it and they are very fast at getting you answers.”

Yolanda isn’t the only one in her family who “loves the friendly faces and great customer service.” Her children also have savings accounts that they started a few years ago. She attributes some of this family fondness of the credit union to “the candy my kids get when we go through the drive-up window.”

As a Featured Member, Yolanda chose the Princess Leyna Foundation as her charity of choice to benefit from MembersOwn’s donation. This foundation helps the family of Leyna, a young girl who was diagnosed with Stage IV high-risk Neuroblastoma Cancer on February 7, 2013 at the age of 18 months.

Yolanda selected the Princess Leyna Foundation because she works with Leyna’s mother and sees firsthand how this horrible disease has turned her “world upside down.” Yolanda wants to do anything she can “to help this wonderful family.”

Thank you, Yolanda, for giving us the opportunity to support this important cause that matters to you!
