Letter from
Dear Valued Member, When I wrote to you a year ago, Actors Federal Credit Union was adapting to the challenges of bringing you “banking without a branch” in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, ActorsFCU has provided over $20 million in loan deferments to our members. The credit union also withstood the loss of two board members, Mel Boudrot and Gil Rogers. We were humbled by their service and dedication to Actors Federal Credit Union and its mission. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to their families. The membership all benefited from their many years of service which shaped the credit union. As the country begins to open in earnest, we are thrilled to be able to welcome you back to our branches for in-person service. While we can’t wait to welcome you in person there will be some continued interruptions with our 802 Branch closed until further notice. Ultimately, we value the safety of our staff and membership and will continue to be take precautions to ensure the wellbeing those we service.
Remembering Gil Rogers
Actors Federal Credit Union board member and actor, Gil Rogers, passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 2, 2021 at the age of 87. Born John Veach Rogers Jr. in Lexington, Kentucky on February 4, 1934, Rogers was best known for his work as notorious villains Hawk Shayne in Guiding Light, and Ray Gardner in All My Children, as well as his stage roles, such as that of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. Gil was a talented actor, loving father, and a dedicated volunteer. He was passionate about Actors FCU’s mission and served on the credit union board of directors for over 40 years.We are grateful that we had the opportunity to get to know Gil. His passion and generous spirit – as a man, as an actor, and as a friend - inspired many. We were saddened to find out he had passed away and we will continue to honor his legacy by supporting the creative community. Rogers was predeceased by his wife, Margaret Hall. He is survived by his daughter, Amanda Rogers, son-in-law Andrew Marr and grandchildren, Michael and Ella Mahoney.
