May 29, 2019 By Ashley

Our June Business of the Month got their start in 1936 as St. Mary’s Parish Sleepy Eye. Their name was changed to SouthPoint Federal Credit Union in 2002 and their business expanded to three counties. Today, we know them as SouthPoint Financial Credit Union, a non-for-profit financial cooperative serving 19 counties and more than 21,000 member owners. They have branch locations in Sleepy Eye, Springfield, New Ulm, St. Peter, North Mankato, and Hutchinson, with a 7th branch opening in Waconia in late 2019/early 2020.

This Financial Center offers credit union services as well as services for two supporting divisions: SouthPoint Home Mortgage and SouthPoint Investment Services. SouthPoint provides industry leading transactional, deposit and loan services to meet the demands of today’s mobile consumers and small businesses. Among some of their services are:

Checking, Savings, and Money Market Accounts
Health Savings Accounts
Youth Savings Accounts
Certificate of Deposits
Auto and Home Loans

Mobile Wallet and Mobile Deposit

Nearly everything that members need to do in branch can be done with one of SouthPoint’s Mobile Platforms (with the exception of withdrawing money). Their members also have access to the MoneyPass ATM network, which offers a surcharge-free ATM experience for qualified cardholders at over 32,000 convenient ATM locations across the US. Wherever their members are, SouthPoint is, too!

SouthPoint makes it their mission to always do the right thing for the right reason.

Every member has an equal right to both voice their opinions and vote at their annual meeting. As a credit union, SouthPoint’s profits are distributed to members in the form of lower rates, fewer and lower fees, and higher savings rates.

SouthPoint is recognized as one of the Nation’s Healthiest Credit Unions. They are a recipient of the Crystal Performance Award from Raddon, which recognizes credit unions for achieving a top ten ranking based on a balanced scorecard measurement of growth, income, efficiency and margin management. Each year more than 500 credit unions were evaluated for this award; the winners were ranked among the top two or three percent of all credit unions analyzed by Raddon for two consecutive reporting periods. SouthPoint has also been recognized with a Credit Union National Association Diamond Award, which rewards creative excellence and outstanding results.

2019 May – Something from Mary!

April 30, 2019 By Gina

Why does the Chamber have a golf tournament?

I am so glad you asked!

Golf is the summer sport taking you to lovely green courses filled with green plants, bringing people together for fun and also aggravates and brings humility to many.

A number of years ago the Chamber started the golf tournament as a fundraiser, which it still is today. Membership dues do not cover the expenses of running the chamber programs and services we provide our members. The board did not and does not want to raise dues significantly, so we fund raise. The golf themes came along shortly after this from suggestions from golfers.

A few years ago we added the “Staffed Hole” Sponsor- WOW! Everyone seems to really enjoy this addition. We have members who will not miss the opportunity to network with every golfer. With an easy $200 investment, most businesses easily justify the cost with the opportunity.

Now this year, mix the Staffed Holes with the theme of Tailgaiting… yes, we plan to have fun while we spend the day on the course, in the sun, light breeze, bev carts out…. Oh, yes, sorry, I was writing an article… back to it.

The amount of networking at our golf tournaments is substantial. See and be seen. Work actually does get done on the golf course. We’ve seen people meet for the first time, businesses have hired people they met, to-do list items get accomplished, and there is a lot to be said for a group of people out on the course on a beautiful day enjoying each other’s company.

So yes, we have fun at the golf tournament, and it is a lot of work to organize and run, but our members benefit from this is multiple ways. Programs and services are funded, networking, and deals are made. And, you all deserve a Monday afternoon off. So there is my added bonus/benefit…. We are so busy in the hustle and bustle of work, it’s great to hear from golfers “I needed this afternoon out of the office.” We all do, so please add July 22 to your calendar and join us at Oakdale Golf Club for a day of fundraising, networking, deal making, and FUN. We’ll have fun for certain; we’re tailgating! Your team can show their team spirit in any way you’d like.

See you in July!

Dobratz-Hantge Funeral Chapel
899 MN-15, Hutchinson, MN 55350
(320) 587-2128

HISTORY

Funeral Service in Hutchinson can be traced back to the beginnings of our local history and many changes have occurred over the years. In the 1800s, those known as “Undertakers” – who undertook the task of burying the dead – were also cabinet-makers who also made caskets when needed. During this time, Funeral Service was often associated with furniture stores. Many times a visitation was held in the deceased’s home. The Dobratz and Quast families served the Hutchinson community in funeral service for many years.

A photo from the early 1900 with the H.A. Dobratz Building, a crowd of people and cars.

1911:A. Dobratz Furniture and Undertaking was established on Main Street.
1973: Everett Hantge, a Brownton native who graduated from the University of Minnesota Mortuary Science, opened a funeral home in the former Quast Funeral Home in Hutchinson which was on the corner of Hassan Street and 2nd Avenue.
1978: The Dobratz Family sold the funeral business and building to Everett Hantge. The Dobratz Chapel was renamed the Dobratz-Hantge Chapel, reflecting the continued tradition of the Dobratz name in Hutchinson. This location was on the corner of Glen Street and 4th Avenue, across from Peace Lutheran Church.
1989: Robert Hantge, son of Everett Hantge, returned to Hutchinson after working in Minneapolis to join the firm. In 1991, Everett’s youngest son, Richard, joined the firm. Richard had also held employment in Minneapolis prior to returning to Hutchinson.
1998: A Family Services Counselor and Preplanning Consultant, Brenda (Schramm) Hornick, was added to assist families with prearranging funeral and cremation services. In 1999, a crematory was installed at the Dobratz-Hantge Funeral Chapel to provide our community with full cremation services.
2000: The Hantge Family purchased the former Citizen’s Bank drive-thru bank building, which was converted into an additional south chapel, providing two chapel locations in Hutchinson.
2003: The Dobratz-Hantge Chapel on Glen Street in Hutchinson was sold to Peace Lutheran Church. In the spring of that year remodeling construction had begun on the south chapel. It was expanded to provide two large chapels, a fellowship room (which provides an alternative place for families to hold luncheons), a fireplace room, and a larger selection room.
Today: Hantge Funeral Chapels continue to care for the special needs that occur at the time of a death in the communities we serve.

SUPPORT

Hantge Funeral Chapels believe the funeral honors the memory of the deceased while helping the survivors to accept the reality of death; it guides them to the healing of their grief. You and your family are the funeral home’s number one priority. A funeral is something that needs to be done right and the Hantge Funeral Chapels are fully committed to funeral service that is in your best interest.

It is the funeral home’s privilege to serve families and walk with them on their grief journey. Hantge Funeral Chapels allows families to receive the healing benefits of their aftercare program by inviting them to their annual Beyond Sorrow grief seminar and annual Holiday Remembrance Program. Working with their full-time funeral directors means you’re never alone. They are available to serve your family at any time… 24 hours a day, every day.

SERVICES

The Dobratz-Hantge Funeral Chapel owns their own funeral chapel and can take care of every aspect of the cremation process for you – you loved one never leaves their care. Their team allows you to incorporate personalized and creative ideas to celebrated the lives of your loved ones, whether it be a dove release, hose drawn carriage to the cemetery, or anything else to make the day special. Their team can also assist families in personalizing and creating the cemetery marker or monument.

Some are unaware that the Hantge Funeral Chapels also offer professional pre-planning. They have a full staff of licensed professionals who will come to your home or meet with you at the funeral home. Pre-planning and pre-funding allows your family the opportunity to make funeral arrangements and decisions before the need arises. The Dobratz-Hantge Chapel can host both a funeral service and a funeral luncheon to follow at the funeral home.

COMMUNITY

This family-owned funeral home supports, participates, and believes in our hometown causes, events and organizations. The staff and owners are your local friends and neighbors, and their goal is to provide sensitive and caring assistance during life’s most difficult times and create meaningful celebrations that honor your family and friends.

2019 April – Something from Mary

Oh My Gosh!

Do you consider yourself a lifelong learner? I do. I hope you do.

As I write this, we just had the 6^th of 8 sessions of Leadership 2.0 with Steve Gasser and Giant WorldWide. How does my mind implode each and every class?

‘How do I not know these things,’ or ‘how do I not recognize these things,’ or ‘HOLY COW, I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH,’ are all thoughts going through my gray matter when I walk out the door.

This spring we have a couple personal and professional development programs which you can plug in and LEARN more about YOU and YOUR TEAM.

I hope you make the time for yourself and your team to attend one or both I am sharing with you today.

April 2019 Business of the Month

March 27, 2019 By Ashley

177 3rd Ave NW, Hutchinson, MN 55350
(320) 587-1000

The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is a non-profit veterans organization that was chartered in the Hutchinson area in 1982. There are 31 chapters throughout the state of Minnesota. As of now there are 410 members from the Hutchinson area that covers about a 30-mile radius. The group is dedicated to a single purpose: fulfilling the promises made to the men and women who served. They are building better lives for the men and women that served their country by providing FREE assistance in obtaining different benefits they earned while serving. In addition, they have an Auxiliary that works right alongside the DAV in everything they do – together as one!

If you’ve seen little green bins placed throughout the community, then you’ve seen the DAV and Auxiliary collection boxes. They collect clothing, shoes, leather goods, and small household goods including pots & pans, silverware, dishes and other nik-naks in these bins. The DAV supports green efforts by keeping these items out of landfills and recycling them through thrift stores in the metro area. The DAV is then paid by these thrift stores and all of the income goes back to into our community to help take care of our local veterans and their families.

In addition to assisting with veteran benefits and collecting various donations, the DAV and auxiliary provide transportation to and from medical appointments, free of charge. They own and operate four handicap vehicles and two ambulatory vehicles. They do accept donations if the patient is able and willing to do so. They also have what they call a “donor connect program” which involves loaning handicap equipment such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, crutches, walkers, and almost any kind of handicap equipment you can imagine to veterans, family members and other members of the public. They have such an abundance of this equipment and are happy to loan it to people, with the intention that it is returned when they no longer need it. These items are also accepted as a donation to the DAV and Auxiliary if people are able to do so!

This is strictly a volunteer operation. The DAV and Auxiliary has volunteers that complete office work, clothing collections, cleaning, transporting patients, delivering handicap equipment, and repairing equipment when possible; they have absolutely no on a payroll. Consider volunteering or donating to the DAV and supporting your local veterans!
