Dear Friends & Members of Notre Dame FCU,

As the leaves turn and the air starts to grow crisp, we’re reminded of how fortunate we are to serve such incredible members and communities. We have had a season of celebration, connection, and giving back, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Once again, we are deeply honored to be recognized by our community in this year’s Community’s Choice Awards. For the 13th year in a row, we have been voted Best Financial Institution as well as 7x Best Mortgage Lender, 3x Best Investment Firm, 2x Best Boss, and 2x Best Place to Work. These awards mean the world to us because they come from you, the people that we are here to serve. Thank you for inspiring us to continue to strive for excellence each day.

This season, we’ve also had the opportunity to serve even further by hosting member appreciation events at all of our branches. From ice cream to tacos to cookies, it was wonderful to share a meal and express our gratitude for being allowed to be part of your financial lives. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our partners, who have been busy making a difference in our communities by attending events like the La Casa Gala, Whiting Empanada Festival, and hosting events like Cops & Community. At our recent Cops & Community event with the South Bend Police Department at Burton’s Laundry, we shared pizza and good conversations with attendees and even gave away free $10 wash cards. Together we can build a stronger, more vibrant community when we take the time to come together and truly “see” each other.

As the holiday season quickly approaches, we want to take a moment to wish you all a wonderful end to the year. Your support and trust mean everything to us, and we’re here for you—always. If there’s ever anything you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Thomas J. Gryp ’79
President/CEO
