At Fox’s All-Team Member Event, we asked people to bring in donations for Wise Woman Gathering Place in Green Bay. Boy, you ask… and they shall deliver! We filled up TWO SUV’s full of items for the shelter! Thanks Team Fox! #payitforward #bethereason #dogoodontoothers #foxfamily

It has been a busy week starting off with Fox’s Annual Team Member Event! We heard from our Executive Team and had two awesome speakers, Karen Lemke & 💬 Kristin Bock-Speaker and Consultant! #seektounderstand #foxcu #foxfamily

I wanted to repost this speech from my dear, dear friend Bibi. I have watched this multiple times as she has so many great messages in it. She is so well spoken and truly one-of-a kind! Take a listen. What message relates to you the most?

Holy Cramp! The Monthlies Project annual event was ULTRA amazing! More than $33,000 was raised that night to provide mentratuators with period products. That is more than 99,000 days worth of products! The sea of red outfits in the room was a site to see! Love how we can all come together to help end period poverty!

Thank you Vicki Updike for putting together this super impactful Woman’s Conference! Fox had a team there taking in all of the good things from all of the amazing speakers in the line-up! Thank you for the great day!! #wlc2024 #wlcwi #takethetimetoinvestinyouself #liveyourpurpose

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustratd that the kids aren’t old enough, and we’ll be more content when they are. After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our partnr gets his or her act together when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice holiday, when we retire. The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. A quote comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinshed business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.” This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one. So, stop waiting until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until winter, until your song comes on, until you’ve had a drink.... there is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don’t need money, Love like you’ve never been hurt, And dance like no one’s watching.

Fun fact you may not know about me. I LOVE family history and history of things important to me.... like Fox Communities Credit Union and our community. Today, I had the privilege of interviewing one of our members who has been part of Fox for over 75 years! Considering we’ve only been around for 87 years, that’s truly remarkable. He shared stories of Fox’s early days at the Combined Locks Mill, where workers would take out small loans—$50, $75, or $100—to get through tough times and get back on track. To put it in perspective, homes back then cost less than $10K! Hearing him speak with such grace and pride about being part of something special, especially when credit unions were still a new idea, was inspiring. He feels honored to have witnessed where Fox started and how far we’ve come today. Thanks, Jim, for telling your story!

This is a pretty solid to-do list if your ask me! ✅ #wordstoliveby #liveyourpurpose

I had the pleasure of attending The Boys and Girls Club of Oshkosh’s Afternoon Tea event. Close to 60 girls, ranging from ages 7-10 got to pick out a new dress, get their hair done and have tea with business professionals! The event promotes confidence and personal skills these ladies will possess for a lifetime! I even had the honor of doing some of girls hair before the event! So fun!
