MACU Cares - Strong Kids Campaign

Members Advantage Credit Union has partnered with the Portage Township YMCA to raise money for its annual Strong Kids Campaign. 

The Strong Kids Campaign is an on-going national effort that provides scholarships to cover membership costs for future members who are in need of financial assistance. This helps ensure that every individual has access to the essentials for learning and growing through YMCA programs.

“MACU is excited about this opportunity to support a worthwhile organization in the community where our new Portage branch is located,” President Frank Beachnau says. “We look forward to future promotions that enable us to carry out our mission of giving back to those we serve.” 
Here's how it works: For every new member savings and checking account opened at Members Advantage Credit Union, referred by the Portage Township YMCA, we'll credit both you and the YMCA $25. It's that easy.

Your referral must open an active checking and savings account from Members Advantage Credit Union. After the qualifying accounts have been opened, Members Advantage will credit $25 to the Portage YMCA. There are no limits to the referrals that can be made.

“The MACU Cares Promotion is a wonderful win-win situation for Members Advantage Credit Union, its new members and the Portage Township YMCA,” said Nancy Simpson, marketing coordinator for the Portage Township YMCA. “We welcome this new member of our community who is interested in supporting the YMCA and sincerely appreciate their efforts in helping as many community residents as possible benefit from our programs.”

For more information or to sign up for a new account, please stop in one of the branch offices or call 219.762.6628.

Members Advantage Credit Union is a locally managed, non-profit, full-service credit union. Open to anyone who lives or works in LaPorte, Porter, or Lake County. Members Advantage has two branch locations in Michigan City and one in Portage. For more information, call 1-877-874-6943 or visit www.macuonline.org. Member NCUA.

Eastman, Komasinski attend Dunebrook Annual Gala

The Dunebrook Speakeasy at The Allure in LaPorte.

A few weekends ago, Morse & Company's own Account Executives Monica Komasinski and Barbara Eastman attended Dunebrook's annual gala on Saturday, September 11th. The gala this year was titled "Dunebrook Speak Easy" making it a 1920s themed party with fitting decorations and a fun atmosphere.

The gala took place at The Allure in La Porte, Ind. Not only was this event a fun evening out for the community, it was also Dunebrook: Prevent Child Abuse La Porte County's biggest fundraiser of the year.

"It was a lovely evening with a well done theme for a great cause," Komasinski says.

The evening began with cocktails at 5p.m. followed by the gala which lasted until midnight. During the evening events, an auction took place raising money for the organization with items to bid on like Notre Dame football tickets, a grandfather clock and jewelry among other items.

According to Barbara,"Everyone really
embraced the Roaring 20s/Speakeasy theme and went all out, showing up in
great costumes, which added to the festive atmosphere.  It was great to see
the community turn out in support of Dunebrook and the important work they
do."

Dunebrook also awarded Duane Seifert, of Current Electric, with the Lester Radke Community Service Award for his efforts toward his community.

Congratulations, Dunebrook, for such a wonderful event!

The evening was beautiful and the jazz was smooth on Saturday, August 28th. The 2010 Smooth Jazz at South Shore benefit concert took place on Michigan City's lakeshore in Washington Park at the Guy Foreman Ampitheater in front of thousands of jazz enthusiasts and novices alike.

Shannon, Jen and Chris enjoy the tunes

Morse & Company had a booth set up to hand out fans with Morse & Company information on the front and TheBeachCoast.com logo on the back. The booth also gave a chance for Morse & Company to talk with concert goers about the two companies.

Urban Jazz Coalition

All proceeds will benefit the Sand Castle Shelter for Children and Families, Stepping Stone Shelter for Abused Women and the American Red Cross LaPorte County Chapter. Last year, Smooth Jazz donated $45,000 total, $15,000 to each of the groups.
