Now you know…

Everyone has had a favorite pair of jeans at one point or another…you know, that pair that makes your behind look just right, or makes you feel like a million bucks, or makes you look taller, or shorter, or whatever…Sometimes we have to part ways with that old friend. Maybe we outgrow them, or styles change, or they simply wear out from being worn every day! You’ve probably wondered what happens to old jeans. Do they go to denim heaven? Do they end up as grease rags? Is there a “retirement home” for old jeans?

Recognize any old friends?

Well, I’m here to tell you that some of those old friends have been reincarnated as insulation for our Russell Street Branch. Yes, the insulation in the interior walls of our new building are made from shredded recycled denim…So while you may no longer be wearing those old favorites, rest assured they have found a new and useful home.

Now you know….

Spreading the Green

We’re helping to spread the “green” at the River City Roots Festival this coming weekend. As the credit union has started its quest to be a greener organization, we’ve realized that others want to do the same thing and we wanted to help–We’re helping this fabulous event provide reusable beverage mugs (significantly reducing the amount of plastic headed to the landfill) and to purchase green tags for renewable energy. While the festival isn’t totally carbon neutral, it is headed in the right direction–every step helps!

Art-a-pult

YOU can help create artwork for our Russell Street Branch! Inside your head, you’re thinking “But I’m not artistic!” No worries! If you attend the Home Resource “Spontaneous Construction” fundraiser August 16th you can participate in the creation of community artwork to be displayed in our new branch. We are partnering with Home Resource on their “art-a-pult” fundraiser. You purchase cups of paint, load them onto the catapult and let ‘em rip…leaving your personal touch on our artwork. We thought this was a great way to help out a wonderful “Green” organization, help use up small bits of old latex paint that aren’t big enough for larger projects AND to encourage community participation in yet another aspect of our new branch. What could be more beautiful?

There will be a huge variety of activities and fun events for the family…check out their schedule on their website for more details. Hope to see you there!
