A Credit Union's Power through a Stuffed Bunny

Imagine a young girl with bright blonde hair and bright green eyes clutching onto a gorgeous, white, fluffy bunny taller than her, staring into the bunny’s eyes. That was me when I was younger, all because of Maine Family Credit Union. This scene is relatively old, seeing how I am eighteen now and that happened when I was about five. However that is still one of my most memorable memories of Maine Family in my life so far. As a little kid, going into the credit union was one of my favorite things to do with my father when I was young. Going in with him meant that I would get the famous lollipops given by the nice tellers who always asked what color I wanted making my day.

One day around Easter time I was eager for a lollipop as I went into our Maine Family Credit Union branch. I saw a great big, gorgeous, white bunny sitting in his own chair up for raffle. I was so excited. Bunnies were my favorite animal. I just wanted to get my hands on the bunny. As I am a daddy’s girl my dad got a raffle ticket and put my name in the drawing, thinking that I wouldn’t win. To all of our surprise I won the huge gorgeous bunny! We never told my mother that we put in to win the huge bunny so it came to a surprise when I brought it home. I was heaven high with that white fluffy bunny. I hugged him daily. Even though the bunny went to Goodwill as I got older to be enjoyed by another little kid I will always remember the big, fluffy bunny that I won from Maine Family Credit Union.

In some people’s eyes winning a bunny may not be a big deal, but to a five year old girl it was. It began my understanding that Maine Family Credit Union does more than depositing checks, maturing CD’s, and having a variety of loans; it brightens the life of all ages no matter how young or old.
