October is National Stand Up to Bullying Month
O C T O B E R 2 0 14 Encourage Your Kids to take the pledge to… P R E S I D E N T ’ S October is National Stand Up to Bullying Month At the Wisconsin Valley Fair in August WIFC radio kicked off a campaign encouraging students to Stand Up to Bullying. CCU along with Rock and Tait Exteriors are pleased to have partnered with WIFC as sponsors of this very important program. Since the school year began, WIFC has been at area football games inviting students to sign the pledge, and a number of schools are participating in the program. If you have school-age children we invite you to bring them in to any CCU location during the month of October and have them sign the pledge and receive a Stand Up to Bullying bracelet. Taking the pledge and wearing the bracelet are important first steps. Experts agree those who witness bullying and are the bystanders are key to ending bullying. Nobody deserves to be tormented by cruel and thoughtless taunting of verbal, physical or cyber attacks. CCU would like to reward students who take the pledge by giving them $10 when they open a new checking account with a FREE Check Card. A Check Card is a good way to teach students how to manage the money they have from an allowance, gifts or a job. Taking the pledge to Stand Up to Bullying helps teach students to assume responsibility for their actions and starting your child off with a Check Card is a good way to teach them responsibility of managing money. We encourage parents to take the time to discuss these important topics with their children. For more information log on to the CCU website or visit with membership services. *$10 reward will be deposited into account at time of opening a new checking account at Cloverbelt Credit Union. To open a checking account on their own a youth must be age 15 years or older. Youth age 14 or younger require a parent/guardian who is of age to be joint account holder. Members under age 18 can only access funds using a CCU Check Card unless a parent or guardian is a joint holder on the account. Establishing CCU membership requires a $5 deposit to a savings account. A minimum of $25 deposit is needed to open a checking account. Offer expires November 1, 2014. M E S S A G E Now that it is officially fall it seems everyone is busier than ever.

You can do so in person, by phone, by scheduled weekly or monthly transfers between your CCU account and your child’s CCU account. It’s also easy to transfer funds via CU-Online or Mobile Banking. However, please note online transactions require parent and child first sign a card to link their accounts online. You could also send your student a check and they can deposit it themselves using CCU’s Mobile App with Mobile Deposit. Mobile Deposit allows members to deposit checks to their CCU checking account. Checks can be deposited by simply endorsing the check (including their member number and specifying it for mobile deposit), taking a picture of the front and back of the check and submitting the image for credit to their account. It’s a quick easy way to deposit funds using a smartphone. If you have questions on any of these transaction options, please call or visit with CCU membership services. Have you downloaded the FREE CCU Mobile Banking with Mobile Deposit app? Gift Cards make the perfect present. Choose from 4 holiday designs. Only $2.

Both new and existing Christmas Savings members can choose one of these free gifts: a clover, tree or star cookie cutter in a gift box (complete with sugar cookie recipe) or a dessert server. Where’s ? Lu c ky Members in our youth savers club were recently asked to guess where the club’s mascot Lucky the Lion traveled during the summer. Children received a letter with six pictures of Lucky at various places around the area (Farmers’ Market, 400 Block, the Marathon County Public Library, McDonald’s Playland, Marathon Park and the Humane Society of Marathon County). Those who guessed correctly were then entered into a random drawing for two weekend admissions to Helene’s Hilltop Orchard in Merrill. Winners included Alexa Howard, Elizabeth Bella and Lavivianne Fischer.
