In 1949, Father Hugh Deeney saw a need within St. John's Parish
for people to help each other out financially by pooling their resources
and St. John's CU, (later to be renamed Central Catholic Credit
Union then Central City Credit Union) was born. Thirteen applications
for membership were accepted at the first meeting, bringing the
total assets to $320. At the end of the new credit union's first
year there were 61 members and assets of $4,356.
In 1951, membership eligibility was expanded to include parish
members of nine area catholic churches. In 1976 the newly named
Central City Credit Union expanded its membership eligibility. For
the current geographical area we serve, check our service
area map.
On December 31, 2008 Central City Credit Union and Point Plus Credit
Union in Stevens Point/Plover combined to form one stronger, better
Central City Credit Union. We are now almost 23,000 members strong
with total assets at almost $150 million. We have five offices to
better serve our members. And in 2010 we will be adding a sixth
office at Marshfield High School
Past presidents at Central City have included Reinhold Weber, Edward
Pfahning, Joe Dorf, Jesse Sandoval, and Heidi Fahey. Currently,
Pat Wesenberg serves as CEO/President.
Over the years, Central City has benefited from the volunteer
leadership of many. Some of the long term directors of the credit
union include Ray Heinzen, Richard Derge (Director Emeritus), Reuben
Danner, Tom Palecek, Jim Trierweiler, George Winkler and Randy Gershman.
Current board members include Richard Voigt (Chairman), Don Binder
(Vice Chair), Ray Gougeon (Secretary), Mark Page (Treasurer), John
Welter, Sandra Weiler, Patti Shafto-Carlson, Tom McCarten, Cliff
Wiernik, Susan Shulfer and Herbert Stephani.
