International Credit Union Week is October 18-22 and TACU is going bananas just
so you’ll know all the advantages credit unions have for you… like great rates,
service and ‘low to no’ fees.
During International Credit Union week, join in on the TACU scavenger hunt for
Monkeys. Brown plastic monkeys will hang inside, outside, and around Tomah. Go
find one and bring it to TACU… it’s worth fifty dollars cash!

you’re there, learn about the financial advantages of being a credit union
member. First off, there’s always a pretty sweet deal for home loans, car loans or
any loan! There’s no monkey business… just the plain ol’ financial goodness TACU
provides!
So go bananas over all the advantages… join TACU and be a credit union member
today!

Family Resources Coats for Kids
Give those old coats to kids in need
TACU will once again be a drop-off site for the Family Resources Coats for Kids drive. If there is
anyone who would like to donate children’s winter coats, jackets, scarves, hats, mittens, and boots
they may bring their items to TACU from October 1 through October 25. Donations must be
cleaned and in good repair. In the past, we were able to collect 705 coats, hats, mittens, and
scarves. We hope that you can help make this year even more successful!
Coats will be distributed Thursday, October 28 from 10:00-11:00am and 6:00-7:00pm and Friday,
October 29 from 10am-1pm at the Lighthouse of Assembly of God at 762 Highway 16 West in
Tomah.

2011 Christmas Club Accounts Now Open
Since the weather is still relatively warm, it’s hard to
imagine buying Christmas gifts and putting up a tree.
But there are only about two and a half months until
Christmas and the 2010 Christmas Club accounts
closed, leaving you with the money and freedom to
begin holiday purchases.
Using Christmas Club accounts allow you to save on
holiday spending throughout the year. All you need to
do is put some money in the account each month
based on how much you spent this year and arrange to
have that amount automatically deducted from your
paycheck or checking account. This way, next year
you'll have all the money you need for those holiday
gifts. Plus, you'll earn interest rather than paying
interest.
The minimum to open a Christmas Club account is $25
and you receive your choice of a glass Christmas
ornament from TACU each year you open an account.
Ornaments become available October 1 at TACU. Don’t
forget to ask for yours!
If you would like to open a TACU Christmas Club
Account, simply stop by TACU to set up the account
and receive your free ornament.

Timberwolf Talk
Tomah High Student Branch Update
Despite a tentative start, the Tomah High School Student Branch opened with a bang
September 17.
Creative students tried their luck at submitting entries to name the new branch. Entries
were due September 24. TACU employees are now selecting the winning name to be
announced at the THS homecoming pep rally. The top winner will receive a tailgating pack-
age including a portable gas grill, gift certificate to Wal-mart, and other treats.
Reminder to Parents:
Your Tomah High School Student may open a savings account at the student branch, even
if they are under 18. But everyone (even if over 18) must go to our main office to open a
checking account. It is especially important for those under 18 to have parental approval
when opening a checking account.
