I look forward to using the items. I retired this year so I will have less income in 2010 than in the past. My part time work also disappeared late in 2009. I first became a member when my former husband accepted a job at Group Health in the early 1970s. Eventually I also worked as a pharmacist at Group Health until the early 1990s when I was riffed during a down turn in the economy. In 1999 I moved to the Wenatchee Valley to open and manage the pharmacy for the Community Health Clinic and then opened and managed a pharmacy for a grocery chain. Eventually I stepped down to part time so I could spend more time with family. My part time position disappeared last summer. As I wait for my home in East Wenatchee to sell, I need a plan on how to afford a "roof over my head" as I return to the Seattle area where everything connected with housing and utilities will be more expensive. I have belonged to the Credit Union for many years. I elected to continue with the Credit Union when I moved to Wenatchee ten years ago. Thank you for all of your excellent service over the years.
