Thanks to all of our Members and Staff!

What can brighten a rainy, cold, gray December day? Delivering toys to the Charlotte Marine Corp's "Toys for Tots program."

This year was even better than last year' - thanks to everyone for making a donation this year.

Special thanks to member and friend, retired USPS (and inactive Marine!) Jerry Smitherman for picking up our donation and delivering them to the Toys for Tots warehouse in Charlotte.

Holiday Blessings to all!

Fee 4 Food!

Board Chair Buddy Livingston was so excited about our Fee 4 Food program that he brought by bags of canned goods just to get us started. Here he is handing them to Senior Mortgage Loan Officer Joe Jones.

CPCU's Fee 4 Food allows members who donate a large canned food item to be refunded one fee they may have been charged this year - anything from a $1.00 ATM fee to a $29 NSF!

Of course we welcome donations even if you did not have a fee to refund this year! Thanks Buddy!

All food collected will be donated to local food banks - all 5 CPCU branches are participating in Fee 4 Food!
