July 2008

    Congratulations to Jillian Fenty, our CEO for a Day contest winner! Jillian entered our contest by writing a one-page essay about how she would like to be a Gymnastics teacher when she grows up. The contest was open to the Mt. Diablo Unified School District students in the 4th and 5th grade, all of our members and several businesses that CD Federal serves.

    Jillian's big day included learning the duties of our CEO, touring the credit union, job shadowing employees, a limo ride to lunch and ice cream and learning about the difference between a credit union and a bank. Jillian's teacher also received a $100 gift card for classroom supplies.

    The credit union staff enjoyed meeting Jillian and her father, Brian, and showing them both what credit unions are all about - people helping people. We look forward to next year's entries and meeting our next "CEO for a Day."

   On June 7, 2008, CD Federal held it's 3rd movie day event, featuring Kung Fu Panda at the Concord Brenden Theatre. Nearly 200 members and their families joined us to view the show and enjoyed hotdogs, popcorn and drinks as part of their $2 admission. The movie was quite a hit with our members and staff with many laughs and lots of entertainment.  We hope you'll join us for our next movie day near the end of the year.

May 2008

   CD Federal held a Beach Party in the credit union's employee parking lot on May 2, 2008. It was a blast, with catering by Christopher's Family Pizzeria, raffles every 10 minutes, a jumpy house, games, partner booths, music & more!  All new members received a $5 deposit to their account that day and members were able to take advantage of share certificate & loan specials! 

    In addition to all the fun, kids could decorate Amber Laree's Limited Late Model race car sponsored by CD Federal Credit Union - look for it at the Antioch Raceway!

    Thank you to all of you who joined us for the fun. If you missed it, please watch for the next credit union event announced on our website or in your newsletter.

    CD Federal is participating in the ConcordStock event put on by the Todos Santos Business Association. Many local businesses have purchased guitar sculptures to be displayed from May to September of 2008, destined to be auctioned off at the California Symphony pops concert in the park. All funds raised will be donated to charity, such as the Mt. Diablo Unified School District's music programs.

    At CD Federal, we chose the theme of "Financial Freedom" for our guitar and had local artist, Jerry Chatham, owner of Frog's Art, paint and decorate the sculpture. Please be sure to stop by and see our guitar at the beginning of May.

March 2008

    On March 9, 2008, CD Federal Credit Union participated in Junior Achievement's Bowl-a-Thon at Diablo Lanes in Concord, CA. We had 10 people bowling on two different teams.

    The Bowl-A-Thon raised money for Junior Achievement (JA) educational programs in the Bay Area. Click here to learn more about these programs. For every $25 raised, one more child is able to benefit from these programs. JA programs are provided at no cost to participating schools, and rely on local business leaders to teach in the classroom. JA provides each of these 'teachers' with a comprehensive kit, geared toward the grade and subject matter they will be teaching. JA pays for these kits through fundraising efforts, such as the Bowl-A-Thon.

December 2007

    On December 21, 2007 you could feel the spirit of giving at CD Federal Credit Union. Across the street in the employee parking lot a large white bus was parked with people going in one door and out the other. The Red Cross came at eight in the morning and took donations all day. They had a wonderful staff that had a knack for calming the nerves of the anxious donors. We had 33 potential donors who could donate up to a pint of blood each. We all presume that blood will always be there for us, yet hardly a fraction of people who can give actually do so.  Almost all of us will sometime in our lives face a time of helplessness in which we will need blood, usually  that time is unexpected, so be prepared and give what you can. We had members who were walking in and saw the bus; the Christmas spirit was so unbearable that they had to give.
