Dear Fellow Stockholder:

It is our pleasure to send your Camco Financial Corporation dividend check.

On October 13, 2008, the Board of Directors approved this $0.0375 per share dividend.  The record date was October 23, 2008, with October 31, 2008, as the distribution date.

As you are aware, Camco will hold a special stockholders meeting in order to vote upon the proposed merger of Camco into First Place Financial Corp. on November 6, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. at Camco headquarters located at 6901 Glenn Highway, Cambridge, Ohio 43725.  Subject to regulatory and stockholder approval of the merger of Camco into First Place, the closing and a systems and banking operations integration should be completed prior to year-end 2008.
