Celebrating the Arts on New Year’s Eve

wendy — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:05:07 +0000

First Night can be hard to describe, because everyone’s experience is different. Just to give you an idea, though, First Night is….

the biggest New Year’s party you’ve ever seen…
one of the best fireworks shows of the year…
a chance to see Ice carving, Irish dancing, listen to African drumming, rock and roll, and watch magic happen, all in one night…
watching the amazing stunts of the snowboard rail jam, and then warming up by the bonfire with a hot latte or cocoa…
more entertainment than you could see in a week, all for $10…

Curtis Family

wendy — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:37:44 +0000

Ryan Curtis was severely injured in a freak accident while working on 11/30/11. Ryan has been trimming trees for many years and has suffered injuries on the job in the past however, Ryan’s injuries from the recent incident are critical. He is currently in ICU after a rope snapped and hit him across the neck and chest. We have been told that it severed his jugular vein. Amicus has a donation account set up to help the Curtis family as the family is unsure how they will support themselves as a result of this accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Curtis family. If you would like to make a donation on their behalf, you may do so in person or mail your donations in. Please make checks out to the “Curtis Family”.

One of our favorite quotes from Dave Ramsey:

“Can you believe Christmas is on December 25th this year?”

If you find yourself scrambling this Christmas Season, stop into Amicus to see how we can help relieve the stress.

It is important for us express to you our appreciation for inviting our staff into your lives. We work hard for you to feel that the credit union is more than a place to transact business, but to also build financial relationship. We consider it an honor and a privilege to serve you and we look forward to many more years to come.

Thank you for your membership!

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell

What is Phishing?

wendy — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:28:24 +0000

It is a way which scammers try to get your personal information i.e.: passwords, usernames or credit card info via email or phone.

What do phishing emails look like?

They are often poorly spelled claiming to be from a credible company or even containing a link which looks credible to a company site.

Phishing is also done over the phone!

A person claiming to be with a reliable company may call and ask you to verify sensitive information about yourself.

How do you protect yourself?

NEVER GIVE YOUR INFORMATION. Call your own institution, but NEVER call the number the scammers provide.

DO NOT open emails from unknown senders. They may contain malicious software that can be used to hack into your information or give your computer a virus just by opening the email itself.

Unfortunately, criminals are all around us. Your best bet in the fight against fraud is to scrutinize everything you receive. Never be afraid to question something that doesn’t look or sound right. Your real institutions will be happy to explain anything they send to you.
