possibly leaving for school. We wanted to honor these special individuals with special recognition.

The announcement of the recipients will be in our next quarterly newsletter and posted on our website. Cavazos wished them good luck in pursuing their college education.

Our staff is a great asset to this institution, without them we would not be able to provide the service day in and day out for our members. Our Board of Directors play a vital role with the current rate environment and economic times – one that we have not had to endure ever, your Board of Directors listen and they proact to keep us competitive in this ever changing industry. Our loans in 2011 grew 33% or $36.7 million. Your credit union was available for those members that needed funds to finance a car, a home or that unexpected expense. Our assets exceeded $200 million in 2011, an unprecedented event for our credit union. Our membership grew to exceed 36,900 members. Deposits reached $188,673,112 which was a growth of 15% or $24.6 million. A sign that our members continue to feel certain this credit union is a safe depository for their funds. Our money market accounts had the most growth during 2011 as members do not want to tie their funds for long periods, especially in this rate environment. During 2011, CCATCU paid back to our members $1.7 million which was 13% of 2011 revenue earned. Please take time to review the Chairperson’s and President’s report in its entirety. This report can be found in the annual report that you were given tonight or on-line throughout the remainder of the year at www.ccatcu. com. Now let’s take a look at your annual report you were given this evening. Many of you may be asking what is with the bar codes on the report – this technology has been around for numerous years, however, it is now an evolving marketing tool. This is referred to as a QR Code (Quick Response Code). It’s popular because of it’s fast readability and large storage capacity. It was invented by Toyota in 1994 to track vehicle manufacturing processes. Utilized with a smart phone and a QR Reader, you can scan the image and it will take you to certain sites. Prince referred the crowd to the QR Code on the report and general discussion followed.” Prince continued with a FOCUS Foundation update informing the crowd that staff had over a 1,345 hours of community service. It was noted that for the 2012 academic year, there have been over 600 Readers enrolled in our Raskal Readers program. Information about Howdy Daze on <strong>April</strong> 28, 2012 was shared. In closing, Prince stated “We know you have choices when you decide on where to transact your business. We appreciate your business and thank you for being our member. Now your marketing homework is to go out and spread the word about the great rates received, the great service you received and encourage individuals to become an accountholder of this credit union. In an effort to always consider member service improvement, we are converting our credit and debit card programs – please review the information when you receive it as you will receive replacement cards on both programs.” Prince explained the advantages of the conversion. Prince concluded by saying, “All of these things are benefits of being a Coastal Community And Teachers Credit Union member”.
