THE A-TEAM Study hard ~ do your best ~ and don't forget to submit your good grades to CCU for a chance to WIN!  Every quarter, we ask any kindergarten through 12th grade student of a public, private or home school who is a CCU member (or the child or grandchild of a member) to submit their report card containing one or more A's (or equivalent score).  A random drawing is held each quarter for 3 - $25 gift cards in each of 4 grade groups and at the end of the year, we draw for a $300 prize!

The National Child Identification Program is a community service initiative dedicated to providing parents and guardians with a tool they can use to help protect their children. The I.D. Kit developed by this program allows parents to collect specific information by easily recording the physical characteristics and fingerprints of their children on identification cards that are then kept at home by the parent or guardian. If needed, this I.D. Kit will give authorities vital information to assist their efforts to locate a missing child, including the child’s DNA. For more information on this kit, click here.
