Dear Valued Member,

I'm delighted to let you know that our Fall Car Sale Event is coming up in just a few days, on October 5! We only host this special event twice a year. We do it to help the community purchase new and used vehicles at great prices. We invite specially selected local dealerships to bring in hundreds of cars, which vary from new, used, mid-range, SUVs, and even some luxury vehicles! What makes the event so extraordinary is our special one-day interest rate, which provides both members and non-members alike with tremendous savings and often helps them buy a nicer car than they thought they could afford.

We see hundreds of faces at this event. Some members are repeat buyers and even start asking our branch staff when the next Car Sale Event is going be as early as July! Many members begin "shopping" as the cars are delivered to the lot on the Friday afternoon before the event, and many arrive as early as 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning to ensure they get the car they want.

The most important thing to remember about the Car Sale Event is its purpose. We are here to help the community save money, time, and provide them with peace of mind. This event allows us to provide essential transportation for members and their families by financing reliable vehicles at a low rate. I invite you all to come and join us for this special event, even if it's just to browse or say hello to our friendly staff and dealers.

If you've never attended one of our Car Sale Events, I encourage you to watch the video below. It will give you a good idea of what to expect, and you can even see the variety of cars we provide. Also, be sure to RSVP below so we know you're coming!

 

 

We want you to Love What You Drive, and hope that our Car Sale Event gives you just one more reason to Love Where You Bank. ■

We have so many employees, members, business members, community partners, and others who are doing amazing, inspirational things. Whether they are achieving personal milestones or implementing major initiatives that drastically change the lives of others in a positive way, we know some wonderful people whose accomplishments are truly remarkable. Meet Jennifer Wolfe!

Jennifer established the Jacksonville chapter of Women Writing for (a) Change) in 2013, creating a non-profit component in 2018. She is a writer, facilitator, business owner, and community leader. She said she feels inspired by a comment she heard once: “Women will step into a leadership role when they feel that there is a need that is not being addressed or an injustice that’s been done.” Jennifer’s work does both, which is why we are fortunate to have her as a member and feel compelled to tell her story. ■
