What's More in Maine? Sharing!

As our Share It Competition comes to an end on March 31, we’d like to share a couple more entries that demonstrate the sharing spirit of Maine’s Credit Unions:

My favorite sharing moment occurred on a day in August when my two sons received prize money for their art entries at the fair. My youngest son received $12 and my older son received $10. Without thinking, my youngest son handed his older brother a dollar and said "now we have the same amount". This type of gesture, from either boy, is not rare. As their mother, it certainly warms my heart.

My favorite Shared Branching moment was just last week when I was preparing to take my son skiing for the day on Friday. I was at home packing all the gear skis, boots, poles, snacks, camera, cash....oops! We all know skiing costs money. Big Money! It was already too late to go to a local branch and we were planning to leave at 6:30 AM. That's too early for my credit union’s hours. Then I remembered shared branching. Looked up the list and found a CU in South Paris. I was able to leave on time, make a stop to visit my Mom in Norway and hit the credit union for the cash need for our day on the slopes. If not for Shared Branching I would have been buying half day tickets and given my son a half day of fun!

Thanks Maine Credit Unions, for being consumer owned and oriented!
