Making Dreams Possible

From Home to Heart: Meet the Logan Family

Every family has a story, and sometimes Members 1st is fortunate enough to help write them. A few years after welcoming twin daughters, Aggie and Lenny, members Ken and Lesley Logan felt called to adoption. Just nine months after applying, the phone rang and they needed funds quickly to finalize the process. Members 1st offered a creative solution to help them bring Jeanie home.

The Credit Union Difference

quote icon
When my husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2023, I wanted to take a short vacation with him. I applied for a small loan at another bank where I'm a member, but even with a good credit score and a high-paying job, I was denied. Members 1st didn't hesitate to approve the loan and within an hour, I walked out of the credit union with the money. Sadly, that ended up being the only vacation I had with him, as he passed in December 2023. I'm so grateful to Members 1st for making that long weekend getaway possible during such a difficult time.

I joined Members 1st Federal Credit Union in 1974 while working at the Mechanicsburg Naval Supply Depot. I remained at the Depot until 1984 before moving on to new opportunities. Throughout my career, I stayed with Members 1st and for the past 50 years, they have always supported me whenever I needed financial help. I am incredibly grateful for their assistance during challenging times and proud to be a longtime member of Members 1st FCU.

Our recording studio, Progressive Enterprises Sound, celebrates 40 years of business this April. Built on the freelance work of Joe Trojcak, we have recorded bands and solo artists, created jingles and edited audio magazines with subscribers in over 50 countries. Members 1st's digital banking services allow me to transfer and monitor my business and personal funds across multiple checking and savings accounts, as well as a highly useful HELOC. Manager Zach in Middletown and teller Joe Klock in Hummelstown have been especially helpful with financial suggestions and guidance.

Members 1st gave me my first credit card, helping me build credit on my journey to becoming a homeowner! In just two years, I built a strong credit history—and that was six years ago! Now, I've been a homeowner for nearly five years and it all started with the foundation Members 1st gave me to start my journey to financial stability. Thank you Members 1st!

Even though I moved several states and nearly 500 miles away, I've remained a member of Members 1st. While I have established a relationship with a local credit union, Members 1st remains my primary institution as I can readily access and deposit funds remotely. Your rates, services and products are consistently competitive.
