Are You Ready for Some Hockey?
Our 7th Hockey Night with the San Antonio Rampage will be held on Saturday, January 17th when they battle the Rochester Americans. Each year, we invite our community volunteers, employees, families and friends to join us for a fun-filled evening watching a great sport. If you’ve not seen a live game, it’s a real treat.
The San Antonio Rampage season began with a 3 to 2 win against the Iowa Wild for their home opener on October 10th. It’s been a great season so far and we are looking forward to our fun night!

Online Payments Available
Our website contains a nice interface for online payments. Online payments are handled by Mutual of Omaha Bank through their secure website. Buttons to make payments are located at the bottom of every page and throughout our website. When you click a payment button, you’ll see a page describing your payment options. When you are ready to make a payment, we’ll transfer you to the Mutual of Omaha site. Nothing you enter on the Mutual of Omaha site is visible or available to C.I.A. Services or to your association.
The online payment page has a clean user interface and that is easy to use. You can make a payment by credit card or electronic check. With an electronic check, you simply use the routing information from one of your paper checks. The funds are then pulled from your checking account without you having to write and mail the check. Mutual of Omaha Bank charges a fee for processing credit card payments but electronic checks are free! Features include:
The ability to schedule payments is a really nice feature. If you create a personal account, you can see your transactions and make future payments with less effort. With an account, you can also schedule payments. So, for example, if you want to take advantage of our multi-payment options (Nov, Dec and Jan payments), you can schedule three eCheck payments in one session by specifying the dates and amounts. Or if you have monthly assessments, you can set those up. At any time, you can change the schedule since you have full control over your payments.
The C.I.A. Services Seminar Series is a great resource for community volunteers, both new and those that have been at it for a while. We are pleased to present seven seminars throughout the year. Each seminar is presented at each of our office locations at least once per year.
Click here to read the seminar descriptions. The 2015 schedule will soon be available. We will have our great lineup once again:
Each two-hour seminar begins at 6:00 pm and we provide a light dinner in case you come straight from work. You’ll leave with a wealth of practical information and a notebook for future reference.
