Dear Heritage Club Members,
Spring has sprung! The robins are back, spring flowers are up and it's about time to start mowing. We just returned from the Heritage Club International Peer Conference at Honey Creek Resort with many travel ideas for the next three years.
Happy Spring!
Kim and Vicki

Thanks to everyone that braved the cold and blustery February day to come out to
Lakeside Village for our social event. A big thank you to Angie Holloway from Lakeside Village. She provided lots of information about what's going on at this state-of-the-art residential village, we saw a few apartments, and we were treated to refreshments. A big thank you to our colleagues, Donna Baker of Guthrie County State Bank, and Kristen Crouthamel, GCSB Investment Center, for helping at our social event.

INTRODUCING APPLE PAY - PAY ON THE GO WITH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE
Apple Pay
is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple that let
s users make payments using the iPhone6, 6 Plus and later, Apple watch-compatible devices, iPad Air2, iPad Pro and iPad mini3 and later.
Apple Pay
is simple to use and because your debit card details are never shared when you use your iPhone and Apple Pay, this technology is more secure and private. Apple Pay doesn't store the details of your transaction so they can't be tied back to you. Your most recent purchases are kept in Wallet for your convenience, but that's as far as it goes. Since you don't show your debit card, you never reveal your name, card number or security code to the cashier when you pay in a store. Visit our website for more information or ask your GCSB personal banker for more information!

"I RETIRED SO I COULD ENJOY GCSB HERITAGE CLUB MORE!"
GCSB Heritage Club member, Ilene Tallman, tells us why she participates in our group.
"I've been a member of the Guthrie County State Bank Heritage
Club for a number of years. I retired in 2008 so I could enjoy the GCSB Heritage Club more. Now I can
attend the quarterly meetings and go on the trips, which I do enjoy! The New England trip was a great trip. We had lots of good food, beautiful scenery and always a fun time with friends you make that care and look out for each other, which make a good group. The GCSB Heritage Club has prepared good social events and trips for the members. I can't forget the
Mystery Trips, which I enjoy a lot! You sign up not knowing what or where you are going (it's a Mystery) and it's always been a fun time! You may even get a kiss from a reindeer! Thanks to the GCSB Heritage Club directors for making this possible."
Would you like to share why you joined GCSB Heritage Club or tell us about your favorite event? Email us and share your story!
