Hat and Mitten Drive

2010 was a fantastic year for our hat and mitten drive. Our tree ran out of room and the

boxes were overflowing.

Together, we donated 111 mittens and gloves, 82 hats, and 23 scarves for a total of

216 donated items on our hat and mitten tree this year.

A special thanks goes out to St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church who donated $300

worth of hats and mittens to the drive!

These donations will benefit countless area children. Thank you to all who donated!

TACU by the Numbers Donations galore!

These great rates apply for ANY vehicle you are looking for,

whether it be a small car, mini van, luxury sedan or a pick up truck.

Speed Up Your 2010 Tax Return

Use Direct Deposit into your TACU account

TACU recommends you use direct deposit to receive

your tax return money this year. Direct deposit allows

your tax return money to be directly deposited into any

of your TACU accounts. Here are some of the benefits:

Get the money sooner. Direct deposit refunds

are issued at least one week sooner than

traditional paper checks.

More convenient. It saves you a trip to the

Credit Union to cash the check.

Safer. With direct deposit, there is no chance of

your money getting stolen or lost in the mail.

To help you fill out your 1040 form correctly, enter our

9-digit routing number as follows:

2 7 5 9 8 2 0 5 0

In the refund section of the 1040 form, mark whether

the refund is going to a savings or checking account.

You can check your account balance online at

www.tacuonline.com or by calling our 24/7 member

access line at 1-800-235-9207.

Getting our hands dirty

TACU gets involved in the community

If you missed the Monroe County Fair Catch a Pig Contest this year, you

missed your very own TACU piglets catch a pig in less than 15 seconds.

Three TACU employees took on the task of catching the pig at the fair. Of

course, the TACU "support team" was close at hand to cheer them on!

The piglets won third place in the business division. They were playing to

raise funds for the Children’s Miracle Network. Representing TACU were the

combined talents of (from left to right) Amanda Raikowski, loan

department, Amy Bolton, counter staff, and Connie Brummund,

new accounts.
