Celebrate Credit Union Week October 11-17, 2009

Every year, the third week in October is set aside to celebrate credit unions all over the world with Thursday being designated International Credit Union Day. As a member of the Credit Union family, you enjoy service, lower fees and better rates than you would normally find at other financial institutions. Credit unions across the country can be proud of their "not for profit, not for charity, but for service" motto and member-owned cooperative business status.

During Credit Union Week, we'll celebrate each new member by putting the first five dollars into the new member's savings account. It's a great time to tell your family about the Credit Union and have them sign up as members. Plus, every member who visits a branch can pick up a 2010 pocket calendar (while supplies last). It's our gift to you to say, "Thanks for being a member-owner."

On Thursday, October 15, we're celebrating International Credit Union Day with a shredding event at the Harleysville Branch office from 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. We'll also have refreshments at all the branch offices. Don't forget to tell your colleagues who aren't members as they're welcome to stop by as well and use the coin counter for free on Thursday only at the Lansdale and Harleysville Branches. (It's always free for our members.)

It's your money, it's your choice, and it's your Credit Union. Make the most of your membership and celebrate with us!

Reducing Spam

Spam is the electronic version of "junk mail." The term spam refers to unsolicited, often unwanted, e-mail messages. Spam is a common, and often frustrating, side effect to having an e-mail account. Although you will probably not be able to eliminate it, there are some steps you can take to significantly reduce the amount of spam you receive:

  • Don't give your e-mail address out arbitrarily.
  • Check privacy policies before submitting your e-mail address online.
  • Be aware of options selected by default - when you sign up for some online accounts or services, there may be a section that provides you with the option to receive e-mail about other products and services.
  • Use filters - many e-mail programs offer filtering capabilities that allow you to block certain addresses or to only allow e-mail from addresses on your contact list.
  • Report messages as spam - most e-mail clients offer an option to report a message as spam or junk. If your computer has that option, take advantage of it.
  • Don't follow links in spam messages.
  • Disable the automatic downloading of graphics in HTML mail.
  • Consider opening an additional e-mail account - many domains offer free e-mail accounts. If you frequently submit your e-mail address (for online shopping or signing up for services), you may want to have a secondary e-mail account to protect your primary e-mail account.
