President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, the “only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
The President uttered these historic words in 1933 during his first inaugural address - at the height of the Great Depression. Fast forward nearly nine decades and Roosevelt’s speech reminds us that history repeats itself. This isn’t the first time we’ve faced doubtful times, nor will it be the last.
At Valley Strong Credit Union, team members and members are our most important asset. As the fear of Coronavirus spreads, we want to assure the community we are operating our branches safely and smartly while safeguarding them and our team members.
As of today, March 10, local public health officials say there have been no reported cases of the virus in Kern County. Valley Strong will continue to keep branches open in accordance with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and local healthcare guidelines. Meanwhile, some precautionary steps include stepped-up cleaning schedules and hand sanitizer at all locations.
