ECCU Summer Update

Energy Capital Credit Union Quarterly Update 

Summer 2014

Upcoming Events

 

Groundbreaking at our new branch location off I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road

August 20, 2014 at 10am. Rain date will be August 26th at 10am. 

It's almost that time again for Bus Buddies!

We will be bus buddies again to Hairgrove Elementary students from August 25-27.

The Celebration Team  asked that we get to know each other better, so each quarter for the next year, we will be asking questions to learn more about each other! First up are those staff members with a birthday in either June, July or August! So be sure to not only wish them a Happy Birthday, but to let them know you appreciate them sharing a little information about themselves! 

Below are the questions that were asked:

1.      Where were you born?

2.      Why did you choose to work at a credit union?

3.      If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

4.      What’s your favorite TV show?

5.      What is one thing that people might be surprised to find out about you?

And here are the answers:

JOSHETTE JACKSON

June 17th

  Shreveport, LA

I worked at a check cashing place and loved it. They closed and I was transferred to the lending side which was more like collections than loans and I hated it. I saw an ad for a teller position and I applied. I didn't know the difference between a credit union and a bank, I just wanted to be a teller. I was interviewed and hired the same day. Never looked back.

Anywhere that has sand and pretty blue water. 

CSI: Miami, The Have & Have Nots

I used to be shy and didn't talk a lot!

I chose to work for a credit union because it gave me the opportunity to grow as an individual. 

Wherever the World Cup is played at, also Europe. 

Besides sporting events, I also like to watch Duck Dynasty, movies, The Simpsons and other TV shows. 

I guess when I smile that I only have one dimple.
