Arlington Woman Surprised by $10k Prize from Neighborhood Credit Union
The Habit of Always Saving First Brought Her an Unexpected Surprise
ARLINGTON, Texas (PRWEB) July 16, 2018
Being a consistent saver can bring unexpected rewards, one Arlington woman learned.
Inez Mackie was tending to her garden Wednesday morning as Neighborhood Credit Union leadership approached her with an oversized check for $10,000. The actual $10,000 prize was deposited directly into her Prize Savings Account at the credit union.
“You have got to be kidding me,” she said. “That’s going to go a long way on a road trip budget.”
Mackie has been a member of the credit union for eight years where she has accounts for herself as well as savings accounts for her three great-grandchildren. She said she knew of the annual grand prize the credit union gives away but was shocked and surprised that she was a $10,000 winner.
“This is our way of showing our appreciation to Ms. Mackie for being a fantastic member,” said Francis Santana, vice president of community relations. “She is obviously a dedicated saver and we really appreciate it.”
Dallas-based Neighborhood Credit Union established the Prize Savings Account 10 years ago to encourage people to save more money at a time when the personal savings rate had dropped to one of the lowest levels in U.S. history. But by being a consistent saver, Mackie believes that it’s very important to save every month for both regular use and emergencies.
“You just have to do it [save] first,” Mackie said. “If it goes into your savings account before you get your hands on it, you won’t spend it. Before you know it, you’ve accumulated a nice little emergency cushion.”
When asked what she was going to do with her winnings, Mackie explained that she was going to use it to help fund a family trip back to her home state of Florida next summer.
See the Video of the surprise delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb8epN9FTs4
How the Prize Savings Account works: Neighborhood Credit Union members receive one drawing entry for every $25 monthly average balance in their Prize Savings Accounts. The greater the savings, the greater the chance a member has of winning. Members are eligible for monthly drawings up to $5,000 and quarterly $10,000 drawings. At the start of each year, a winner is drawn for the newly-increased $49,999.99 grand prize based on the average monthly balance in the savings account at close of business December 31. The upcoming 2018 drawing marks the 10th Anniversary Grand Prize Savings drawing for Neighborhood Credit Union.
About Neighborhood Credit Union: The oldest credit union in Dallas (chartered April 18, 1930), Neighborhood Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial organization serving Dallas, Denton and Ellis counties, as well as the City of Arlington. With branches in Dallas, Richardson, Arlington, Mesquite, Duncanville, Waxahachie, Lancaster, Grand Prairie, Coppell, and Highland Village, and assets topping $600 million, Neighborhood Credit Union has a membership of 49,000 and continues to welcome new members daily.

BriteBee Launches a New Kind of Online Insurance Platform
Early traction for Oklahoma startup prompts expansion into Texas
Yukon, Oklahoma (PRWEB) July 16, 2018
Insurance tech startup BriteBee has launched an online platform to help consumers find and compare quotes from local insurance agents, without compromising their personal information. BriteBee’s platform seeks to bring transparency to an industry dominated by consumer confusion and the sale of personal information.
“People hate searching for insurance,” says BriteBee CEO and Co-Founder, Keagan Henson. “There is so much value in a personal agent/client relationship, but that trust is hard to build in the current landscape of faceless search engines and lead generation sites. BriteBee is here to change that.”
The online platform provides a refreshing experience for both sides of the insurance market - insurance agents and insurance consumers. BriteBee grants users access to a directory of agents, giving consumers the power to choose which agents they want to work with based on proximity, experience, services, and an in-app rating system. For agents, BriteBee turns qualified lead discovery into a byproduct of customer-centric business and removes the need for cold-calling and emailing. Leads found through BriteBee are of a much higher quality due to the customer choice based relationship.
“BriteBee is a great lead provider! They attract quality prospects that give complete and accurate information, their site is very user-friendly, and the customer service is outstanding,” said one agent regarding the experience. An online review from a customer also stated, “I saved almost $1,700 on my combined auto and home policies through an agency I would have never known about if it wasn't for BriteBee! It was an absolute win for me and a very easy process.”
BriteBee has quickly grown in popularity and support over the past two months:· Participating at OnRamp Insurance Conference and Collision Tech Conference
· On-boarding over 50 insurance agents in Oklahoma
· Partnering with the Thunder Launchpad, StitchCrew, Rocket Referrals, ZipWhip, IAOA, Right Now Media at Work, LoveWorks Leadership, GAN startups and others to help serve insurance agents and consumers as the company grows and evolves
BriteBee.com officially launched May 31st and is currently connecting agents and consumers in the state of Oklahoma as it works towards serving the insurance industry on a national scale. BriteBee will begin on-boarding Texas insurance agents in July 2018. Reported by PRWeb 5 hours ago.

New Book Combines Medicine, Murder, and Vaccines in “The DNR Trilogy”
Author Dr. Don W. Hill’s Real Life Experiences in Medical School Serve as a Basis for Fictional Thriller
KONA, Hawaii (PRWEB) July 16, 2018
Dr. Don W. Hill was in medical school when brutal violence and crime was occurring around the Texas Medical Center, where he was receiving his doctoral education. While attending an international cancer symposium, he also overheard two women in the medical field discussing an act of violence that they got away with against a prisoner who was hospitalized. These dramatic stories and occurrences left such an impression on Hill that they would later become a part of his new medical suspense trilogy.
In “The DNR Trilogy: Volume 1: Backing the Wrong Primate,” Hill chronicles the story of J.D. Brewster and the tragic and dehumanizing events he witnessed during his time in medical school. Brewster later reflects on these events in his memoir and how they lead to the demise of his career and morality.
Such events chronicled in the fictional story include brutal violence against a beloved nurse, the planned death by hospital staff of a criminal patient and more, both of which are pulled from past real-life events and scenarios in the author’s medical career.
“Over the course of my career, I have seen many strange and wonderous events that ran through the entire spectrum of the human experience,” Hill said. “I ended up writing the novel after all those years when a weekend trip became the plot point around my novel that I could no longer ignore.”
In “The DNR Trilogy: Volume 1: Backing the Wrong Primate,” readers will be on the edge of their seats as the medical thriller comes to a shocking cliffhanger: Will Nurse Segulla survive?

About the Author
A native of Houston, Donald W. Hill, MD, FACP, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1978. After completing his medical school training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 1982, Dr. Hill completed his postgraduate training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 1987. At the time that he composed this novel, Dr. Hill had completed thirty years of medical practice that included working in multispecialty clinics, solo practice, and everything in between, including academia and clinical research. As a fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Hill is a published scholar but this is his first attempt at a work of fiction. Although approaching the end of his medical career, Dr. Hill was still in practice in Hawaii when he crafted this novel. A self-described angry man safely nestled behind a superficial, amiable facade of banality, Dr. Hill felt compelled to write this novel in an attempt to make peace with God, the universe, and the practice of medicine. Only time will tell whether these lofty objectives have been achieved. For more about the author, please visit http://www.drdonwhill.com/. Reported by PRWeb 4 hours ago.

Cole Hamels is focused on the Rangers, but a trade to Phillies would be a 'blessing'
Starting pitching isn't high on the Phillies' list of priorities before the July 31 trade deadline. But old friend Cole Hamels is likely to be dealt by the Texas Rangers and wouldn't mind a reunion with his former team.
