Some call it personal finance, some call it money management – whatever you call it, it’s all about making the most of your money. Instilling these values while our kids are young can promote good financial health later in their lives.

The Austin Chapter of Credit Unions would like to invite you to the 2010 Youth Financial Literacy Fair at the Dell Diamond.

Thank you for helping the Austin Chapter donate over $370,000 in 2009!

JLe@goamplify.com (Austin Chapter) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:08:00 -0600

The Austin Chapter of Credit Unions’ annual fundraising events raised over $370,000 in 2009. Of that amount, $363,000 was donated to the Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas, while the rest was sent to several other local nonprofit organizations.

In September, the Austin Chapter of Credit Unions held an auction party and Kids Classic® golf tournament, raising $188,000, which qualified it for an additional $25,000 from CO-OP’s Miracle Match program. And in June, participating chapter credit unions held a raffle raising $150,000 for the hospital, bringing the total to $363,000.

On November 7th, ACCU held its first Annual Bowling Tournament to raise funds for the Capital Area Food Bank. ACCU’s total monetary donation to CAFB was $2,250 along with canned food and other nonperishable items donated by participants. The Bowling Tournament took the place of ACCU’s annual canned food drive; the organization plans on making the Bowling Tournament a yearly event.

At the 2010 planning session held in early December, the ACCU Board of Directors selected 5 local nonprofit organizations to receive $2,000 each: Austin Children’s Museum, Austin Sunshine Camps, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, SafePlace, and Texas Baptist Children’s Home.

The Chapter believes in uniting Austin area credit unions to better serve the community and to promote and improve financial literacy in central Texas.

Prize Center Scam

JLe@goamplify.com (Austin Chapter) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:27:13 -0500

Please be aware of a phishing scam. Several credit union members have been contacted by a company called Prize Center. They are telling the members that they won prizes from the Children’s Hospital raffle. This is not the case. The Prize Center is leaving a return phone number of 866-343-5166 and the man’s name is Jim. The members are being told they won prizes that weren’t even a prize option, such as a Lincoln Navigator. This company is also asking the members to provide personal information.

All of the prize winners were contacted by the Austin Chapter of Credit Unions on the day of the raffle, June 3rd, and have arranged times to pick up their prizes. The Austin Chapter of Credit Unions would not ask for personal information to redeem prizes.

This scam has been reported to the Consumer Protection Agency of the Office of the Attorney General.

Please make your members aware of this scam.
