As part of its annual Member Appreciation Month celebration, Members 1st Federal Credit Union announced the winners of its 2026 Grand Prize Giveaway—four members who each received a beach getaway, sponsored by iHeart Radio, in recognition of the important role members play in the credit union’s success.
The grand prize winners include: Dawn Hendricks from Mount Joy, William Deitz from
Carlisle, Heather Novinger from Enola and Matthew Shaeffer from Lititz. Each will
receive a two-night stay in a beachside condo in Ocean City, Maryland, for up to four
guests.
Member Appreciation Month is more than a celebration—it is a chance for Members 1st
to pause with intention and say thank you. Throughout April, the credit union recognized
members for the trust they place in Members 1st not only as a financial partner, but as
an organization that supports their overall well-being across all moments and
milestones.
“The relationships we build with our members are at the heart of everything we do,” said
Michael Wilson, President & CEO of Members 1st Federal Credit Union. “Being part of
their lives is something we never take for granted, and Member Appreciation Month is
our chance to turn that gratitude outward. If we can say thank you in a way that brings a
smile, or creates a memory, like a relaxing trip to the beach, then we know we are doing
something right.”
Members 1st celebrates Member Appreciation Month each year as a reflection of the
credit union difference–putting people first. From giveaways and in-branch celebrations
to educational resources and community partnerships, the observance reinforces a
commitment to holistic support that meets members where they are.
