First
Choice America Wintersville Parade Trophy
Although we're well in to the New Year, it's never too late to accept accolades for our credit union's community support during the Christmas holidays. First Choice America's entry in Wintersville, Ohio's 2009 Christmas Parade earned a "Most Original Float" award. In the photo, Mayor Bob Gayle and Juanita Barrett, Manager of our Wintersville branch office, display the giant trophy. Our float was a huge replica of a steamboat similar to those that traveled up and down the Ohio River in olden days, and conveyed the theme of "Christmas On The River."
Supporting Rotary
Again
this year, First Choice America Credit Union became a Platinum sponsor for
the Weirton Heights Rotary Club's Mardi Gras Gala event held on Feb. 13th at
7:30pm at Williams Country Club. In the photo are Barbara Owens,
President of the 24-member club, accepting the donation from Scott E.
Winwood, President and CEO of the credit union. The gala featured hors
d'oeuvres, music and other surprises. This year's gala benefited the
Community Bread Basket of Weirton.
New Administrative Annex Building Opens
Flanked
by fellow
directors and officials, John R. Thayer, Chairman of the Board of Directors
of First Choice America, executes the traditional snip of the ribbon marking
the opening of our new Administrative Annex at the Main Office in downtown
Weirton. Our Credit Union acquired and remodeled the former Stone &

spectacular! Pictured are (l-r) Scott E. Winwood, President & CEO;
