As the year is quickly drawing to a close, the board would like to remind you of several actions/activities between now and the end of the year.

TCUL PAC – we are still behind our goal. If your credit union has funds from employee contribution or candy sales, be sure to get that sent in before Christmas

School Parties – We are currently collecting information on volunteers. There was an error on the letter sent to credit unions. Sam Rosen background forms should be faxed to Raymond Shands, his correct fax number is 817-882-0136. Background forms for Webb should be faxed to Vince Heimann at 817-273-5913.

Cookbooks for Kids – Due to a printing delay, we now expect delivery the first week of December. If your CU ordered books we will be contacting you about a pick-up date and time.

Chapter Dinners – The notice for our November 27th meeting (Robbery) is out. Remember to get your RSVP in before heading off for Thanksgiving. Also, we will be having our Christmas dinner at the Petroleum Club on December 3rd. The full notice will be out next week.

We are getting closer to the Christmas Carnivals at Sam Rosen Elementary (Wednesday, December 12th), and Webb Elementary (Tuesday, December 18th). In addition to all the fun we have planned for the children, we are trying to make sure we have plenty of winter coats to donate to the children that need them.

Over the years we have had hundreds of coats donated by our Credit Unions and Preferred Partners. These special gifts have been both very much appreciated and very much needed. Many of these children do without things we all take for granted, and the coats are one way to help make a difference in their lives.

We are in need of NEW coats that will fit elementary children up to grade 6. We need coats for both boys and girls.

Some Credit Unions and Preferred Partners are accepting cash donations from their staff and membership. With the funds they collect, they are purchasing coats. Others are just asking that new coats be donated. Either way is great!

Once you have collected the coats, please contact Vince Heimann to make arrangements to have them picked up.

If you have any questions, or need more information, please contact Vince at 817-273-5910.
