Highlights & Happenings From Fairfield Federal | Feb. 2023

Welcoming A New Year of Opportunities to Connect with our Customers and Community

I hope the start of your new year has been filled with happy beginnings. With the better part of winter behind us, it's exciting to see the first hints of spring just around the corner. There is so much to be excited for in the coming months.

Recently, Fairfield Federal had fun with the Groundhog Day celebration featuring Poppy the Skunk from Alley Park, which took place downtown. Although Poppy's prediction wasn't what we were hoping for, it was enjoyable to be a part of this wintertime tradition. We've also been grateful to be part of several community happenings, including sponsoring the February Rivet Society event; sponsoring our Chamber's Heart-Safe Accreditation, which you will read more about below; and being part of Ohio University Lancaster's Financial Literacy Seminar Series as a speaker and a sponsor. Next month, we will be on campus as a sponsor of the annual Celebrate Women event on March 24. You don't want to miss it!

On another note, Fairfield Federal was thrilled to bring back TIME & TEMPERATURE after a temporary outage due to some technical difficulties. It was delightful to hear how much the service means to all of you!

Our team is looking forward to another year of serving each of you, right here in our beautiful community. We can't wait for all of the opportunities to connect, celebrate and enjoy this year with our customers, neighbors and friends.

We are thrilled to have you as part of our team, Craig!

Time & Temperature

We were excited to bring back TIME & TEMPERATURE after a temporary outage. This service has been around for a LONG time - so long, in fact, that we don’t know for sure what year it started. We do know that Fairfield Federal has provided Time and Temperature for over 40 years. We asked some long-time employees and our community for feedback on their memories of the service. Their memories ranged as far back as the 1950s and 1960s. So, while we can't know for sure, it appears the service has been around for more than 70 years!

Fairfield Federal Sponsors Chamber's Heart-Safe Accreditation

Fairfield Federal was pleased to sponsor the Lancaster-Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce to receive their Heart-Safe Accreditation. Chamber staff received training to assist during cardiac arrest emergencies, including hands-only CPR. The sponsorship included a brand-new AED that will travel with the Chamber to events.
