Volunteer Help Needed!

You might know by now - but Charlene has left NCUD staff to pursue a law degree. She did an amazing job for us over the last 11 months. We wouldn't be where we are without her leadership and hard work. I miss her a bunch, but am happy for her as she pursues her dreams to become a lawyer. One day she may be the Governor of Guam!

In order to curtail expenses until we get the credit union up and running we have decided not to fill her position right now. I need help! I'm looking for a volunteer to help with administrative tasks for NCUD - basic stuff. While things are pretty much in order right now - I could use someone to help us look at our procedures for our office operation. This would in include working with our bookkeeper to insure our financial record keeping is in top shape.

I imagine that this will take around 5 hours a week - but may require some extra work at the beginning to tighten things up. Would you consider serving NCUD in this way? If you are unable to help at this time, can you forward this on to someone you know who might be willing to help in this capacity?

PageMill, Wells Fargo and Sam Zell

First, a little background (from my perspective):  A few years ago over 80% of East Palo Alto's multi family housing stock was purchased piece by piece by a predator equity group, Pagemill Properties. After the purchase Pagemill began systematically dismantling our rent control ordinances and aggressively evicting working class families. The community was in shock. However, the Pagemill group went bankrupt in 2009 and lost the property to Wachovia,...

Non Profit Payday Loans?

Here's a recent New York Times article sent to me from Katie at NCHM on payday lending. I know that the NCUD / CTCU-EPA partnership is going to have to create the right program addressing the needs for short term lending for low income families. We don't have the answers yet, but it's definitely on our radar. APPLETON, Wis. — This city of 70,000 has five McDonald’s franchises, three Pizza Huts, four Starbucks shops — and 19 payday loan stores, brightly lighted storefronts with names like EZ Money and Check Into Cash that offer two-week loans without credit checks. Peggy Truckey, 53, knows the allure. Last year she owed nearly $1,300 to four of those stores, and was paying about $600 a month in finance fees alone. “I thought I was going to have to take a second job just to pay off the interest,” Ms. Truckey said. Then she heard about a new nonprofit program operated out of a Goodwill thrift store, one of several hundred lower-cost payday loan products that are now bein...
