Member Calendar - December 2020
Did you remember to "fall back" this morning? With the arrival of earlier sunrises for the next few weeks, we begin our preparation for the seasons of giving thanks and welcoming the joys of Christmas.
There may not be as many community activities on the December Calendar, but we certainly can reflect on the passing year and all that we can celebrate that made an unusual calendar year into a memorial holiday season.
We may be grateful for our families, our friends, our communities, our schools, our churches, our health, or our even our small victories in a year of tough odds. We may not get to gather together to trim the tree or ring in the new year with the same traditions we have in years past, but we can create new traditions, and continue to recognize that this season accentuates the gifts that are most important to all of us: each other.
You may be thinking about purchasing a Visa® gift card this holiday season for someone on your shopping list. Dakota West currently offers Visa® gift cards available in any dollar amount, however, this offering will be ending when supplies have been sold out. With the ability to purchase gift cards directly through many online retailers and websites, we know there are other products and services we can offer to our members to serve you better.
This time of year, whether shopping online or in person, with increased spending and activity, it is important to remember smart security tips when using your Dakota West Mastercard® Debit or Credit Card, too. We keep up-to-date on ways hackers and thieves attempt to access information, and share with our membership the practices Dakota West follows to secure your identity or alert you to possible fraudulent activity. Most importantly, we always recommend to be mindful of your surroundings and your usage, check online regularly for recent transactions, and contact your local branch at 800.411.7590 if you have any questions.
Wherever you travel, whatever your plans, we want you to enjoy the holiday season, from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and into the New Year. We will be here to serve you, to keep your finances secure, and to celebrate another year having you as our members.
