Third Annual Wig Walk in Catawba County
Thomasville Branch
Moving on 10/27
Newton, NC – The third annual Wig Walk for
the Catawba County Wig Bank took place on
Saturday, September 12th at the Southside Park in
Newton, NC. Despite a little rain in the morning,
the event succeeded in collecting $4,000. One
hundred percent of the Wig Walk’s proceeds will
be given to the Catawba County Wig Bank, a
cancer patient support center that provides new and
gently used wigs and other head coverings, breast
prostheses, and mastectomy bras to cancer patients
for free. The Wig Bank also promotes support
groups and special programs for cancer
patients and survivors.

Holiday Skip-a-Pay 2015
November and December can be two of the most financially stressful months of the year. Holiday travel, purchasing
gifts, mailing cards, and planning parties for Thanksgiving and Christmas can easily break your budget at the end
of the year. To reduce your financial stress, Members CU is offering the Holiday Skip-a-Pay program. This program
allows members to extend either their November or December due date on most MCU, non-mortgage related loans,
without any fees or penalties by one month.
Members who wish to take advantage of this program should call their local MCU loan officer or corporate loan officer
at 800-951-8000, ext. 256. Please view our contact list for branch phone numbers or MCU@Home users may send
a secure message through MCU@Home. You may also email [email protected] the following information:
Name; Address; Type of Loan; and Loan Month to be skipped (November or December) to take advantage of our
Holiday Skip-A-Pay program.
Please do not email Holiday Skip-a-Pay requests with personal information (account numbers or Social Security
Numbers) to any MCU employee.

Testimonios
El Director de Servicios Latinos de MCU, invitó a algunos miembros a
que en pocas palabras contestaran dos preguntas, cuyas respuestas estan
siendo transmitidas por la emisora La Lay FM 101.1. Nos complace mucho
compartir la opinion de reconocimiento a nuestra labor, pues no ahorramos
esfuerzos para cada vez servir mejor a nuestra comunidad.
Así contestó nuestro primer miembro:
La primera pregunta fué “como le había ido con MCU” a lo que contestó:
“Hola amigos, soy Carolina Ferguson, Venezolana y trabajo con La
Tortillería en Winston Salem. Necesitaba hacerme a un buen carro,
y entonces pasé por MCU. Allí me dieron los intereses mas bajos del
mercado en ese momento. Me hicieron sentir importante y me ayudaron a
conseguir un muuuy buen negocio”.
Luego le preguntamos “si quería añadir algo”, y dijo: “Pues estoy
sorprendida, me parece increible que el interes para comprar carro esté
tan bajito... desde 1.75% APR y con plazos hasta de 84 meses...con esos
costos, me dan ganas de cambiar el carro...Amigos, bien vale la pena que
pasen por MEMBERS CREDIT UNION”
Así contestó nuestro segundo miembro.
A la pregunta de “como le había ido con MCU” contestó: Hola amigos, no
me podría haber ido mejor...el servicio personalizado, la facilidad y alegría
con que me atienden y me facilitan las cosas me hacen un hincha favorito
de ustedes.
Soy Jaime Bejarano, Colombiano y trabajo con La Industria para los
invidentes en Winston Salem. En mis condiciones, manejar mis finanzas
con Members ha sido una bendición.
No solo por su atención sino por el abanico de ayudas financieras que me
han dado. Quien iba a pensarlo.
A la pregunta de “si quería añadir algo”, contestó: “Le parece poquito la
posibilidad de que para los que tenemos limitaciones existe una institución
a nuestro alcanse y para la cual somos importantes? Y terminó igualmente
invitando a la gente a pasar por MEMBERS CREDIT UNION.
Las palabras hablan por si solas. Lo invitamos a que usted apreciado
miembro, comparta su testimonio con compañeros y amigos. Mil gracias.
