who won: Gary Antonelli, Cheryl Blanc, George Calvert, Jacob Fresch, Hayley Jeremay,

Shermaine Johnson, Trystan Mesenburg, Lovie Moats, Susan Snyder, and Jackie Wimer.

VacationLand Federal Credit Union thanks our membership and the community for their kindness over the holiday season. Whether you donated to Coats for Caring, the VLFCU Annual Toy Drive, or both, we are grateful for your generosity. We wish you all a happy, healthy & successful New Year!

A SPECIAL DAY FOR MEMBERS

A BITTERSWEET SENDOFFIf you have been a member within the last three

decades, you more than likely have had the

pleasure of meeting Barbara Yost. Recently,

Barbara announced her intentions to retire on

April 1, 2019, and reluctantly we accepted!

Barbara started her career with VLFCU on March

4, 1986 as a part-time teller who also helped

with opening new accounts. Soon aft er, she was

provided with full-time hours and later served our

members in the capacity of loan clerk, loan off icer,

centralized lender, and mortgage off icer. All of this

experience helped prepare her to become a branch

manager in 2003. Over the last 16 years, she has

managed at both of our Sandusky branches, and

currently is located at our Hayes Avenue branch. As

part of her responsibilities, she has also served as

the Facilities Manager.

According to Barbara, “I was aff orded many

opportunities throughout my years at VacationLand

which I am very grateful for. It’s been a memorable

ride with a remarkable community of people.”

Barbara says she started working to make sure

that her two children did not have to worry about

college debt. Now with six grandchildren, she and

her husband John would understandably like to

spend more time with family.

“I would like to thank our Board of Directors, past and present as well as our CEOs past and present for allowing me to be a part of such a great organization. Their support along with the support of my peers, staff and our membership is appreciated and will never be forgotten.”

CEO, Bryan Myers, shares, “thank

you Barbara for all your hard work,

dedication and member service

throughout your tenure at VLFCU. You

have been a tremendous asset to our

organization, and your presence here

will be missed by all of us.”

If you get a chance, stop

by our Hayes Avenue

branch to wish Barbara a

happy retirement; just be

ready for a few tears!

THANK YOU FOR

You r Gener osity

At the end of November, VLFCU was able to make four donations to area non-profits due to monies available in our candy bar sales and

employee jean day funds. Members purchase candy bars throughout the year from our tellers, while employees donate $1 on Fridays and

Saturdays to wear jeans. Aft er consideration by a committee and employee input, donations totaling $5,000 were made to the Salvation

Army of Sandusky, the Humane Society of Erie County, Victory Kitchen, and Serving Our Seniors. We will be making another donation in early

January to Safe Harbour Domestic Violence Shelter. We thank these community-minded organizations for their service and support!
