International Credit Union Month 2011
Neighbors celebrated International Credit Union Month in October, by fundraising over $1,500 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN) of Greater St. Louis.

From October 20 – 22, 2011, we hosted our annual CMN bake sale. During this three-day bake sale, our branches sold homemade and store bought items to the public for a $1 donation. The 2011 Bake Sale raised $730 for CMN.

On International Credit Union Day, October 20, 2011, our employees were allowed to dress down in St. Louis Cardinals attire for a small donation. This dress down day fundraiser provided an additional $314 for CMN.

Our employees also sold CMN paper football and baseball balloons for a $1 donation throughout the month of October. This fundraiser generated $546 for CMN.

In combination, these three fundraisers generated $1590 for CMN. One hundred percent of the money donated will benefit CMN of Greater St. Louis.

Neighbors was a proud part of the annual Affton Days Festival on Saturday, September 17, 2011. A bean toss game, face painting, educational materials on Neighbors Credit Union, premiums and popcorn were available to all in attendance. Plus, we accepted over $100 in donations for Homes for Our Troops.

School Spirit Photo Contest
In a time when many banks are raising and implementing fees, we recently awarded $650 to two Missouri schools with a free contest.

To enter Neighbors Credit Union’s School Spirit Photo Contest, entrants were asked to take a photo showing their school spirit and to submit it, along with how the funds would be used, to Neighbors Credit Union by August 31, 2011. All entries were placed on Neighbors Credit Union’s Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/NeighborsCreditUnion) for voting from September 1, 2011 until September 30, 2011. The photo with the most likes at 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2011, was deemed the winner.

With over 700 votes, Clearwater Elementary in Piedmont, Missouri won. However, the competition came down to the voting deadline, with Bayless Elementary falling a few votes short of winning. Due to such a close competition, Neighbors Credit Union gave Bayless Elementary a $150 donation to apply towards the purchase of a new kiln for their art classes. As the winners, Clearwater Elementary received a $500 donation to establish a Dr. Seuss Library.

United for Joplin
On Wednesday, June 22, 2011, Neighbors collected money for the recovery effort in Joplin, Missouri at their seven branches. All donations collected benefited the United for Joplin Tornado Relief fund organized by The Heart of Missouri United Way.

To mark the one-month anniversary of this devastating tornado, employee were allowed dress down day in jeans for a monetary donation to the United for Joplin fund.
