Georgia Power Valdosta FCU is sponsoring a Child Safety Day on October 16, 2007. All children up through middle school age are invited to participate.

John Keliher with American Income Life Insurance Company will provide Child Safety Kits to all children who attend. These kits, endorsed by the International Union of Police Association, allow you to gather vital data including photo and fingerprints. You would then be able to get vital information quickly to authorities if the unthinkable should occur. Children can be photographed and fingerprinted during their visit.

Deputy Steve Harris with the Lowndes County Dare Program will be participating in our Child Safety Day activities in the afternoon.

Leslie Brogdon, along with Monty, the little dog that survived serious burns, will be on hand to provide valuable tips about fire safety and how to prevent animal cruelty.

There will be refreshments for all who attend and each child will receive a credit union piggy bank.

Georgia Power Valdosta Federal Credit Union offers residential mortgage lending services to its members. If you are building, purchasing, or refinancing your 1st mortgage, give your credit union the opportunity to offer you the specialized personal service you have become accustomed to, and at the same time, save you money with a lower rate and lower closing costs. For those of you who desire to build your dream home, we will finance the construction phase converting the loan to a permanent mortgage with just a one-time closing fee.

GPVFCU offers a full range of Mortgage Loan Products,
Residential and Land First Mortgages as well as a Home Equity Lines of Credit. We offer fixed and variable rates on all mortgage loan products. We can finance up to 100% of the value on a residential first mortgage, and 90% of an appraised value on Land First Mortgages and HELOC (minus any 1st mortgage loan balance) loans.

Please call for details on the product that interests you and rates (rates are subject to change daily).

TOGETHER WE’RE BETTER

This year’s International Credit Union Theme, "Together We're Better," recognizes the progress made around the world as credit unions continue to work together and forge new partnerships. Regardless of the country in which they live, credit union members are discovering their commonalities. And with the exchange of new ideas, credit unions reach more members and offer better services for everyone.

Since 1948, ICU Day has been celebrated on the third
Thursday of October. The day is set aside to reflect upon
the credit union movement’s history and to promote its
achievements. It honors those who have dedicated their
lives to the movement and is an opportunity to raise
funds for worthy credit union causes.

In honor of International Credit Union Day, October
18th, come by the office between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM for refreshments and register for door prizes. If you are unable to stop by the office, you can register for the prizes by emailing the credit union at
creditunion@gpvfcu.com. Please include your name,
account number, and phone number. You can also mail
the information to our office to reach us by October
19th. We look forward to seeing you!

Service makes the difference!
