FCS Financial: One Hundred Years July 2016 | Page 101

At year end, Chairman of the Board James Nivens wrote, “The year might not be over and in the books, but it would appear to be quite the year for your association . . . a new CEO, two new board members, new offices, three billion dollars in loans, and almost 15,000 members.” FCS Financial presented $5,000 to Nodaway-Holt High School to rebuild portions of the school following a tornado in 2014. An EF-0 tornado with winds up to 85 miles per hour hit the school in Graham, Missouri, blowing off the roofs from both the main and vocational buildings and causing heavy rain damage to classrooms. It was reported at least five tornados passed through the area that evening.
