First off, congratulations are in order for our own Pamelas Stephens, President of Security One Federal Credit Union who has just been named “Alumni of the Year” by the Southwest CUNA Management School Alumni Association.

Second (but no less important), a big “Thank You!” to everyone who contributed items or shipping money for the USA Home Team and the 10th Combat Support Hospital, Baghdad. This was our third year of conducting a drive and again we topped the previous year’s donations. I just got the following message from Colleen Canion our contact:

“Please give my sincere thanks again to all the members of the Ft. Worth Chapter of Credit Unions for their donations to the 10th Combat Support Hospitals in Baghdad and Tallil. I have copied our current Points of Contact in Iraq so they will know of your generous gifts of cash for postage and “Wish List” items which are or will be on the way soon to their hospitals.

God Bless Americans wherever they are serving our country!”
