Barbeques, camping, road trips and lazy days—summer is packed full of fun things to do. However, in the midst of all that fun, it can be easy to lose sight of your financial goals.
The temptation to spend a little extra here or there is common when you're enjoying your summer-relaxation vibe. Occasionally, though, that temptation can result in you overspending.
Here are a few tips to help stay on track with your summer spending:
Try a Staycation. Instead of going on a costly trip this summer, put on your tourist cap and find things to do close to home. Central Oregon has so much to offer and some of us have never explored the area where we work, live, and play. Have you visited the High Desert Museum or the Lava Lands Visitor Center? Floated the Deschutes River? Tested your endurance hiking the South Sisters? Attended one of the many concerts—some of which are even free (see below Calendar of Events)? What about taking advantage of the amazing parks, trail systems, and campgrounds? We live in an amazing area— take advantage of what it has to offer.

You might be ready to hit the open road for new adventures, but is your debit or credit card?
Setting your travel notifications just got easier as we have added this feature to Digital Banking!
If you're traveling to an area not far from home, it's unlikely that any credit card charges will be declined. However, traveling out of state or internationally increases the chance of charges being declined. Setting up a travel notification also helps strengthen the security of your accounts and prevent fraud. Traveling can be stressful, don’t let credit card issues ruin your good time.

Mid Oregon is using a convenient new way to keep you informed about your Mid Oregon cards. Now, the next time your Debit or Credit card is due for reissue, you’ll be notified by text message that it’s on its way!
When your card arrives, be sure to sign and activate it immediately to minimize the possibility of fraud. If you prefer not to receive card reissue updates by text message, just reply STOP to opt-out.
Don’t forget that if you ever have questions about your account, feel free to call or send a text to 541-382-1795 during normal business hours—our team is here to help.

cy·ber smart
noun
- Being aware of the motivations and tactics of those who would attack your digital security and adopting measures to protect yourself and the information systems you are responsible for.
|
As we grow more dependent upon technology, we need to develop better online security defenses and develop habits to recognize and counter threats to our digital safety.
Being cyber savvy is important year-round, but during vacation season, we often do things out of our usual routines, such as using unfamiliar ATMs or free Wi-Fi.
Guarding our personal information with common-sense protection is something we all need to do. Here are some tips to keep in mind.

Mid Oregon’s 19th Annual “Adopt-A-Bear” fundraiser raised over $5,000 for Healthy Beginnings to help fund free comprehensive health and development assessments for preschool-age children in Central Oregon.
In April, Mid Oregon’s members and the community ‘adopted’ cut-out bears by making donations in branches and online. Funds were also collected during Mid Oregon’s annual Free Shred event with Republic Services on Saturday, April 22. The one-day event raised $1,365 and shredded onsite nearly four and a half tons of documents for over 240 participants in Bend, Madras, Prineville, and Redmond.
Nearly 40 percent of children enter kindergarten with a barrier to their success. Donations will help ensure that every preschooler in Central Oregon is healthy and prepared to enter kindergarten ready to learn. Thank you, members, for your support!

Mid Oregon is partnering with Caring for Troops, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to support American military personnel who are serving overseas. Monthly handmade care packages are sent as part of this effort.
How can you help? While Caring for Troops gratefully accepts donations, the immediate need is to identify military personnel so they may be added to the monthly mailing list.
If you know someone with a Central Oregon connection who is deployed outside of the United States, please visit the Caring for Troops website and sign them up. Thank you for your support!
