UNITED EDUCATORS CREDIT UNION CELEBRATES COON RAPIDS BRANCH OPENING WITH COMMUNITY SHRED DAY

Coon Rapids, Minn. – In celebration of United Educators Credit Union’s (UECU) new Coon Rapids location, the Coon Rapids community is invited to attend a free document shredding event. UECU’s Coon Rapids Shred Day will take place at 11599 Robinson Drive NW, on Saturday, October 29, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The shred event will offer credit union members and the community the opportunity to learn about identity theft and shred unwanted documents for FREE. Non-UECU members are welcome to bring up to two boxes for shredding.

The company Shred-It will be on site to shred unwanted personal documents, such as old account statements, cancelled checks, credit/debit cards, ATM receipts and unwanted credit card offers. These items will be shredded on the spot by the shredding truck in the parking lot.

Credit union staff will also be on hand to answer questions and give tours of the new branch, which opened on Monday, October 3, 2011. The 5,000 square foot building features a drive up teller service, 24/7 drive up ATM, lobby coin counter, on-site loan officer and financial planning services. “We are excited to be in Coon Rapids and look forward to meeting our neighbors at this special community event,” said Dick Ruohoniemi, Branch Supervisor.
