- Visit nearby ski resorts for skiing and tubing
- Build a fire outside and roast hot dogs and marshmallows
- Wii tournament with friends
- Rock Band/Guitar Hero concert
- Bake treats for neighbors who can't get out (shut-ins)

Your Money Is Safe - A Letter From Your CEO
March 23, 2009
Dear Member:
On Friday, March 20th, The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) placed U.S. Central Credit Union (US Central), Lenexa, Kansas, and Western Corporate Credit Union (Wescorp), San Dimas, California, into conservatorship to stabilize the corporate credit union system. Both credit unions are corporate credit unions and do not serve consumers. The NCUA’s actions on Friday have no impact on the members of Roanoke Postal EFCU.
As your CEO, I wanted to make sure that any of our 11,000+ member-owners reading this news do not confuse these two corporate credit unions with credit unions that serve consumers, such as Roanoke Postal. Natural person credit unions - like Roanoke Postal - remain very strong with net worth averaging more than 10% of assets. Our own credit union is even stronger, with net worth in excess of 12% of assets.
I want to remind all of our members that their deposits in Roanoke Postal EFCU are federally insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Again, the government’s actions with US Central and Wescorp have no direct impact on the members of Roanoke Postal EFCU. If you have any questions about the NCUA’s actions related to the two corporate credit unions, you may e-mail me at rpefcu@rpefcu.org .
Sincerely,
Jeff Thompson
CEO
Roanoke Postal Employees’ Federal Credit Union
