WV Central

December 2022

Mike's Article

I hope the 2022 Thanksgiving holiday was very special for you and your family! Hopefully you had the perfect family time and that the day exceeded all expectations.



We all know that the last few years have been challenging for everyone. Between issues such as COVID, inflation and now the possibility of a recession, all families have had to look for personal and financial solutions. 

Even though life has had many twists and turns, WV Central continues to work very hard in identifying ways to help our members, our communities and to improve the financial well-being of all.

I like the following thought which I think is especially relevant at Thanksgiving - “Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, and dreams that turned into reality.”

I am beyond thankful for my family, my personal friends and everyone that I have met as part of my credit union experience all of which I now call friends. For this I count my blessings and am thankful!

As we finish out 2022 and enter the New Year, please allow your friends at WV Central FCU to work with you to find financial solutions that will improve your financial well-being.

One last point to share, WV Central now has six team members that have received the CUNA Financial Counseling Certification.



We are here to help! Please allow us to help turn your dreams into reality!
