NEWS OF OUR MEMBERS!
2nd Annual Down Home Daffodils Planting

On Saturday, October 8th, members and friends of the Mason Sycamore Creek Garden Club gathered to complete the 2nd annual planting of over 400 daffodil bulbs in downtown Mason.   
 
Working with sponsors - the City of Mason and Dart Bank – the Club is working to naturalize with daffodils throughout our community’s green areas. This is a long-range project with intent to expand planting areas each year in the green space next to our major streets and parks. The Club created the project to bring the community together through volunteer efforts to plant the bulbs each fall for a beautiful welcome to our community every spring!! The Club also encourages residents to plant daffodil bulbs on their own property. 
 
We can all look forward to seeing the results next spring. 
 
Updates on this project – and all the Club’s other projects – can be found on their FaceBook page Mason Sycamore Creek Garden Club). 
 
Funding for this project is made possible through donations, fundraisers and sponsors.  
TRUE Community Credit Union celebrated CU Kind Day with random acts of kindness throughout the communities we serve. Our 211 team members were provided resources to spread these acts of kindness on Monday, October 10, such as buying coffees for random coffee shop customers, donating to local homeless and animal shelters, or helping pay for someone’s gas.
 
“The world is so chaotic and noisy these days, and quite honestly, it can feel as though kindness doesn’t exist anymore,” said TRUECCU President and CEO Chrissy Siders. “CU Kind Day is an opportunity for us to highlight our commitment to be true to our members, true to our communities, and true to each other. I love the hearts of our employees and their desire to give back to the communities we live, work, and play in. The TRUE Team is a daily reminder of harmony, peace, and goodness, and we love blessing our communities!”
 
TRUECCU has a huge passion for serving members, our community, and each other. TRUECCU gives back all year round through our #TRUEGiving initiatives, such as supporting local charities and causes each week with Dress Down Fridays for our team or supporting organizations through charitable requests.
 
CU Kind Day is an annual day of kindness and gives credit unions the opportunity to showcase how much they care for their communities. TRUE Community Credit Union has 12 branch locations in Jackson, Ingham, and Washtenaw counties and welcomes members who live, work, worship, or attend school in Michigan.
