Last week a new Miss Pennsylvania was crowned and one of our members, Doreen Laskiewicz, served as their offical photographer! She spent the entire week with the canidates creating photos and videos for the three nights of the pageant. You might have seen her images used by various images throughout the Commonwealth.

Help project Credit Unions

As a credit union, our mission is simple: to serve you—not corporate shareholders.

That’s why you benefit from lower fees, better rates and personalized, community-focused service. But those benefits are at risk. Proposed federal tax law changes threaten the unique benefits credit unions provide to more than 140 million Americans.

🛑 Don’t let Congress tax your credit union—it’s a tax on YOU.

We are grateful to Tammy "Jo" Crouse of EverOak Insurance for presenting to the ABC group and sharing 30+ years of expertise and insights about various intricacies of insurance coverage.
She recognizes the importance for customers to understand their coverage so they can select a plan that is "right for them".

What distinguishes Tammy is that she is a "broker", able to obtain quotes and options from multiple insurance carriers, not just one and her motto is to "educate, educate, educate and care more."

Tammy suggests reviewing your insurance policies annually because life events can impact your coverage and pricing.

Have you installed a new roof or HVAC system this year?
Do you have a pool or trampoline?
Is the trampoline equipped with netting?
Business owners, do you have cyber security insurance, or EPI (employee practice insurance)?

We couldn’t take notes quickly enough! She possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience!!
