Watch
It Grow
You’ve
probably heard how important
it is to save your money.
Did
you know that the credit union
will pay you to save your
money?
When
you save in your share account, your dollars will earn extra money
called dividends,
and the extra money will add up along with the dollars you save. For
example, a dollar doesn’t
seem like much, but if you save a dollar a week, every week, by
the time you graduate from high school, you could have thousands of
dollars in your
share account. Plus, thanks to the dividends, you’ll also receive
hundreds of
extra dollars.
So,
start today by giving your dollars a job and let them earn dividends
for you.
Save
a little now each week and watch the dollars grow in your share
account.

The staff at Mountain Laurel
Federal Credit Union would like you to stop into the credit union and see
for yourself what makes credit unions better than other financial
institutions. Here's some questions and answers concerning credit
unions...
What makes a credit union different?
Credit Unions are owned by
it's members. All money or profits that the credit union makes are
returned to the members in the form of dividends. Banks on the other hand have
stockholders who invest money in their bank in hopes of making a profit.
All money made at the bank are returned to the investors.
How does a credit union
work?
When you give money to the
credit union or make a deposit, the credit union can loan that money to
other members. The credit union charges that person "interest" on that
money. Interest is a fee that is paid by the borrower for use of the money.
The credit union uses the interest to pay bills and to pay dividends to
the members for the use of their money.
Who can be a member of
Mountain Laurel Federal Credit Union?
As long as you live, work, go
to school or worship in Elk, Cameron, McKean or Warren Counties you can
belong to the credit union!

Our hat, a recycled oatmeal container, is wrapped with green felt
secured with double-sided tape. To make the trap, we cut a hole in
the lid (see image), then cunningly concealed it with a circle of
green felt that will give way when the leprechaun steps on it.
