Connections - Spring 2008 Ent's Quarterly Newsletter
What You Can Do If You Are Falling Behind On Your Mortgage
At Ent, we understand that in today’s economic climate more
consumers than ever before are facing loan payment issues. We know
that bad things can happen to good people and there is no reason to be
embarrassed. Whether it is you, a friend or a family member, here are
some tactics we recommend if you feel like your expenses – particularly
your mortgage loan payments – are getting away from you.

Ent's Commitment to Safety and Soundness
With subprime mortgage issues at banks and finance companies frequently making news,
consumers are more interested in the safety and soundness of their own financial
institutions than ever before. We want you to know that we operate today following the
same core values that have guided the way we do business throughout our 50-year history.
We continue to offer quality products and services designed to improve the economic and
social well-being of all of our members.

that promotes tree planting and management in cities like Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

"Green Up" Month at Ent!
April brings longer days, the flowers of spring and "green" celebrations, like Earth Day
and Arbor Day. This year, April also means "Green Up" Month at Ent – a great time
to learn ways to save, grow and protect your own green. Check the seminar schedule for complete information on all the events.

From the Chairman... Reflecting on Our 50th Anniversary Year
As I look back on 2007, I’m not only proud of what we have done, but I’m also
confident that the future for Ent – and its members – will be a successful one.
For some financial institutions, 2007 was a year full of challenges and uncertainty.
With so many impacted by the declining mortgage market, it could make you
wonder about your own financial security and that of your financial institution.
I’m pleased to say, in spite of the economic conditions, Ent had a strong
anniversary year full of development, growth and celebration.

Affordable Health Screenings
Financial wellness and physical wellness can go hand in hand. By taking care of
yourself physically today, you can prevent unplanned medical expenses in the
future. In support of all-around wellness, Ent has teamed up with Life Line
Screening to provide members with a way to take some preventative steps and
help secure their future financial and physical well-being.

Thinking About Refinancing?
Are you thinking of refinancing your existing mortgage loan? With today’s low mortgage
loan rates, now is a great time to consider refinancing your home loan with Ent. Our
knowledgeable and experienced mortgage loan officers can help you find the right loan
to fit your needs.
