RECORD
BREAKING!
Attendance reached 3,735 guests on February 18, 2017 for SPIRE’s 83rd
Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Day. A new record for SPIRE!
We were able to give back in a BIG way at our
favorite event of the year! Over 160 SPIRE employees
and volunteers were on hand to showcase our
products and services, educate guests through
seminars and be available to answer questions.
“At SPIRE we strive to improve lives every day. If there is anything we
can do to help you, please let us know. I look forward to seeing you
next year at our Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Day.”

Kid Reporter——Ryan Stoltz interviews Alana Nichols
SPIRE member and 6th grader at Eagle
Heights Spanish Immersion school in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, Ryan Stoltz (no relation
to Dan Stoltz) scored an interview with
Paralympian Alana Nichols. A reporter
with Scholastic News Kids Press Corps
for three years, Ryan was most impressed
with Alana’s incredible determination. “She
is a great example of continuing to do
what you love, even if it’s difficult,” he said.
Ryan’s favorite quote from his interview
with Nichols is, “No matter what challenge
you are faced with, I think if you are
creative enough and you use your mind
and heart, you can really come up with a
solution to just about anything.”

He hopes to
attend Brigham Young University to study
broadcast journalism.
After our business meeting, the amazing (and
record-breaking) Alana Nichols shared her story
with us. A true inspiration for anyone, Alana
overcame a spinal cord injury while performing a
backflip on her snowboard, leaving her paralyzed
at the age of 17. With her passion for sports and
living life to the fullest, Alana transitioned to adaptive
sports, becoming the first American female to
win gold medals in both the Summer and Winter
Paralympic Games. Alana stayed late signing
autographs, taking photographs, and sharing
her gold medals!
From all of us at SPIRE, to those of you who came,
thank you for sharing your Saturday with us. Thank
you for bringing food donations for Second Harvest
Heartland, which provided 1,385 meals. Thank you
for purchasing 1,000 candy bars to raise money for
Children’s Miracle Network. And most importantly,
thank you for being a SPIRE member.

HomeAdvantage®:
AGENTS WHO REWARD Silver Season in a BIG WAY!
Finding a qualified real estate agent who has your best interests in mind can
make all the difference, which is why SPIRE offers members free access to the
HomeAdvantage® program and its network of real estate pros.
Take in a game!
SAINTS TICKET OFFER FOR
SPIRE MEMBERS
All agents in the network were handpicked by SPIRE based on experience and
expertise. When you buy or sell a home using one of these agents,
you qualify for HomeAdvantage Cash Rewards.* Cash
Rewards are equal to 20% of your agent’s commission,
saving you $100s to $1000s at closing. Our average
member saves $1,556 per transaction! Use
your agent to buy and sell, and
receive double the reward!
*The HomeAdvantage program is made available to you through a relationship between SPIRE and CU Realty
Services. Cash rewards are awarded by CU Realty Services to buyers and sellers who select and use a real estate
agent in the HomeAdvantage network. Home buyers or sellers are not eligible for the cash reward if they use an
agent outside this network. Using your credit union for a mortgage is not a requirement to earn a cash reward.
Cash reward amounts are dependent on the commissions paid to the agent. Your credit union may have specific
rules on how your reward will be paid out. Cash reward incentives are available in most states; however, are void
where prohibited by law or by the lender. Please consult with your credit union to get details that may affect you.
