Kids and Teen Clubs
If you are 12 yeas old or less, we invite you to join our Kids Club and discover how much fun saving can be! Just stop by one of our offices and fill out a Kids Club application and you'll soon receive a membership card and a savings passbook! Every Wednesday is Kids Day at East Traverse! Come in on this day for a special prize.
When our Kids Club members reach age 13, they are automatically enrolled in our Teen Club, for Teens age 13 to 15. They will then receive a new savings passbook for their club. We always welcome new members to both our East Traverse Clubs!
Win Prizes for Saving
In both clubs, members can get registered for quarterly drawings by bringing in their full savings passbooks to the Credit Union. In order to achieve a full passbook, kids must make twenty deposits of at least one dollar at each visit, while teens must deposit at least five dollars five times. For both our Kids Club winner and our Teen winner, we award a $10 gift. You will also receive a new passbook to keep saving.
We look forward to having you as a member of our Kids or Teen Clubs! If you are already a member of our credit union, just drop us an email at service@etcfcu.org and we'll be glad to send you an application.
