Moxie…It’s Maine in a bottle

With the Town of Lisbon gearing up for the 40,000 expected attendees for the annual Moxie Festival, it is clear that some out-of-state folks wanted to be a part of the action. Back in March, the Moxie Committee announced the theme of Moxie…it’s Maine in a bottle for 2011. In fact, there were submissions from six other states: California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.

Jeff Moxcey of Waterville submitted the winning theme. He received a basket full of Moxie items from The Kennebec Fruit Company and a VIP ticket to view the parade from the judging stand on Main Street. He is a product evaluator and song writer who had this to say about his theme. “I thought the theme idea up by thinking how Moxie is a lot like Maine…unique, fresh, crisp, lots of good taste and unlike anything else. To me, Moxie is one of the best beverages. I liked it from the first taste.”

Congratulations Jeff! The 2011 Moxie festival will take place on July 8th, 9th and 10th. For complete festival details, please visit moxiefestival.com.

Lending Money…Responsibly!

We hope you have heard or seen the phrase Lending Money…Responsibly in some of our marketing materials so we’d like to take a minute and explain what it means.

The mission of the Lisbon Credit Union is to improve the financial well-being of all Members. In fact, our lending philosophy is centered on our ability to lend money responsibly. It is important to recognize that when an application is reviewed, our Loan Officers always have the Member’s financial well-being in mind. It is not in our best interest to approve a Member for loan with a monthly payment they cannot afford. In our experience, lending money responsibly means doing our best to help Members build a secure financial future.

As we lend money responsibly, we also lend money fairly. The Credit Union is proud to offer ALL Members the same rate on loans. When underwriting a loan, we look at the entire picture and no just your credit score. This lending practice truly makes us unique among area competitors.
