Church of Epiphany Branch Update
We continue to make progress on the Church of Epiphany office. A space in the corner of the parish offices has been identified as a great location for us and we are working on the blueprints for redesigning that space. One of the benefits of this space is the credit union will have its own separate entrance.
Shauna and Nancy will be transferring over to the new space when it is ready. The question everyone wants answered is: When will it be ready? We are working dilegently with the city, as well as builders, and our hope is to make the move by the middle of this year. Stay tuned!
Catch the $ave Wave During Youth Week
Plus Take the Youth Savings Challenge All of April at MCCU
Kowabunga! This April, youth will be riding the save wave into the credit union. Whether they've surfed or not, youth love digging their toes in the sand, playing with beach balls, and jumping in the waves. During the month of April, kids will have the opportunity to feel like they're at the beach when visiting their credit union as they get tips on how to surf and save.
Like surfers, young savers need tools and techniques to improve their skills. And we're here to help youth start on the path to healthy savings habits. During the week of April 20-26 MCCU will celebrate National Credit Union Youth WeekTM. This year's theme, "Catch the $ave WaveTM," highlights tips and resources available at the credit union to boost good habits and "hang ten" on the save wave. Through lots of practice, young surfer savers will learn the secret of riding a gnarly wave that will help them achieve big-time savings.
The Youth Saving Challenge is open to all youth under 18 who make a deposit to a MCCU account during
April. Each time a youth makes a deposit, he or she will be entered into a national drawing to win one of 25 $100 prizes. All youth under 18 are welcome to enter the challenge. Also, anyone who opens a youth accout in April will receive a USB/car cell phone charger while supplies last. Join the fun!

Give to Charitable CausesFor many people, giving to charities is non-negotiable, and would be priority number one. But on a tight budget, donations can unfortunately slip down on your list. Your refund is your chance to give a little back. Contributing to charity is an excellent use of capital, and provides a huge societal benefit. Choose a cause that is important to you and your family, and give generously. Although the returns on your investment may not be as immediate or measurable as investing in the financial markets, giving to charity will benefit your community in a major way. And as an added bonus you can claim the tax deduction too.
Spend It on Something You WantIf you have everything else covered and still have some money left to spend, you deserve a treat. You saved all year, and now you've earned the right to splurge a little bit. Don't feel guilty about using the extra cash for a summer vacation or to treat your family to a nice dinner. Just don't let your eyes get too big for your stomach. A $500 refund is no excuse for a $3,000 trip.
Final Word If you're getting a tax refund, regardless of the amount, it's a big deal to get your money back. Whether it's a windfall or just a drop in the bucket, your refund should feel like "found money." Then you can put it to work for you and improve your financial situation.

Spring is finally starting to emerge. It has been a long winter and now that warmer days are here, I am reminded of some of the goals I have set for myself. "Take the girls on a vacation to the Apostle Islands", "Sail the

I ask you to think about how we at the credit union can partner with you to help you accomplish
your goals. While the credit union can't help me find a sailboat to crew on in Chicago, it has helped me to save for college for my daughters.
Our staff has over 100 years of combined experience in credit unions. Take some time to sit down with one of our staff and let us know what your goals are so we can help you cross them off your list!
For the past 68 years, we have had a proud tradition as a safe and secure place for our members to conduct their financial business and we are here to help you reach your goals wherever you are on the path of life.
Annual Visit to Washington D.C.
David attended the Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington DC again this year to lobby our Congressional delegation. Joining forces with 4,400 other credit union executives and volunteers, they met with every member of Congress to ensure that they understand our issues and don't over regulate us which would hamper our ability to help you - our members. David met
personally with his congressman Erik Paulson, who has been a vocal supporter of credit unions. It is increasingly important to have supporters in Washington as more and more regulations are presented. We also need to be vigilant watching for attacks from Bankers who do not like the competition we give them. Bankers, for many years, have tried to put us out of business.
Credit Score Myth #6 68th Annual Meeting Well Attended A divorce decree does not sever joint loans.
On March 2, 2014 MCCU hosted its 68th Annual Meeting. It was another successful meeting with over 140 members in attendance at the John Roseville Oval. Mark Cummins, the CEO of our trade association, Minnesota Credit Union Network, spoke about the efforts they go to in order to promote credit unions on both the State and Federal level.
He also presented our CEO, David Sawin, with a beautifully framed print of our State flower for his service on the Board of Directors of the Network.
The judge may have rubber-stamped your plans to divide credit cards, car loans and house payments, but that carries absolutely no legal weight with the creditors themselves. So that leaves many people who, a year or two after the divorce, are outraged and frustrated because their credit report reflects their exspouse's missed payments. Unfortunately, at that point, they are helpless to erase the damage.
Divorcing parties must contact the creditors and
