Foothill Federal Credit Union team members, credit union
members, and community leaders, will unify to beautify and paint
a local public school to benefit the children of our community.
Our goal is not only to provide an enhanced educational
environment for our students, but to instill the importance of
community service and teamwork to our youth by demonstrating
what can be accomplished through volunteerism. We anticipate a
tremendous turnout as we exemplify the credit union motto of
‘people helping people’ and continue our tradition of giving.
Volunteer teams are comprised of caring citizens, teachers,
students, faculty, staff, civic groups, social organizations and
community leaders. We invite you to join us to support this
wonderful and worthwhile cause. All volunteers will receive free
breakfast, lunch, beverages, and an official volunteer t-shirt.
Volunteers will also receive a personalized volunteer
certificate and pictures of the event
commemorating their participation
and achievement.
The actual “Paint Day”
will be announced in
early October, so visit
unitedwepaint.org for
more information and
to register as a
volunteer. Space is
limited and registration is
required so sign up today.
Children under 18 are
welcome with adult
supervision.

Holiday Online Shopping Tips
Shopping online can be a dream come true! During the busy
holidays it’s a great way to save time, money and gas. Here are
some guidelines from the Better Business Bureau to ensure your
dream doesn’t become a nightmare.
For a limited time, when you purchase
a new or pre-owned vehicle (2002 or
newer model) with New Cars Inc. and
finance with Foothill Federal Credit
Union, you’ll receive a 1/2% Interest
Rate Discount for the life of your loan!
*Offer valid on vehicles purchased through New Cars
Inc. and financed at Foothill Federal Credit Union
from October 1 – December 31, 2007.Vehicle model
must be 2002 or newer. Loans subject to credit
approval. Contact Credit Union for details.
n Shop only at Internet merchants you know and trust; if in
doubt check with the Better Business Bureau at
www.bbb.org.
n Beware of emails offering cut-rate prices on popular toys,
software or other gifts; if the offer sounds too good to be
true, it probably is.
n If you receive an unsolicited email from an Internet
merchant, don’t click on the links within it. Instead,
locate the merchant’s web site address through a reputable
search engine.
n For extra protection, enroll your card(s) in anti-fraud
programs like Secure Code® for MasterCard ® at
www.securecode.com or Verified by VISA® available at
www.verifiedbyvisa.com.
n Protect your private information. When shopping online,
look for the retailer’s website privacy policy and never
provide your Social Security number, birth date, or mother’s
maiden name.
n Always print and save the confirmation page when
completing an online purchase.
n Verify credit card and checking account statements right
away, or better yet, monitor activity online.
