If someone is sending you emotionally charged messages, premature declarations of love, or they're refusing to meet in person... don't risk it. Romance scams are one of the most common type of scams out there, and the consequences can be financially and emotionally devasting.

Here are a few ways you can protect yourself and your loved ones from becoming a statistic:

💘 Ask questions and be on the lookout for inconsistent answers
💘 Don't send money or gifts to people that you haven't met in person
💘 Never share sensitive information about yourself with someone online
💘 If something feels off, always trust your gut

We'd like to shine a special spotlight on our interns Claire, Anders, and Lauren-Kate, who recently wrapped up their internships. Thank you for your energy, curiosity, and fresh perspectives brought to EastRise this summer! You can head to our story to hear their feedback about what the best part of their internship was with EastRise.

This summer, they had a chance to gain hands-on experience with our Accounting, Enterprise Risk Management, and Deposit Operations teams. They completed the program with an impressive presentation featuring recommendations for technology and AI efficiencies, along with thoughtful strategies for attracting, engaging, and retaining the next generation of members.

Supporting interns is an investment in the future of our workplace and our communities. These experiences help emerging professionals build skills and confidence while providing organizations with new perspectives and innovative thinking.

We look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the future. Best wishes for what comes next Claire, Anders, and Lauren-Kate.

What a day at Thunder Road! We are beyond excited to celebrate Taylor Hoar ’s 1st-place victory today.

Taylor’s effort and composure behind the wheel of the EastRise 48x as she rolled into the finish line were incredible to watch.

Congratulations to Taylor and the entire SRT Motorsports team on a well-deserved win!

Taylor Hoar is a FIRST TIME WINNER at Thunder Road in the Maplefields Convenience Stores Irving Oil Late Models!

The third-generation driver stole the lead on a lap 53 restart to become just the second female winner in the Late Models, and first since Tracie Bellerose in 2003!
