Thanks to everyone who reached into their hearts (and their wallets) and helped us make miracles for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in North Dakota: Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo. Thanks to the generosity of our members, we sent nearly $2,000 to help children looking for a miracle, or just a chance to live a healthy childhood.
We thank Co-Op Shared Branch Network for their support of our CMN campaign, including our Miracle Jeans Days celebrated at all our branches on International Credit Union Day. With a $5.00 contribution, our employees dressed down while lifting up our communities. Thanks to everyone who contributed. We really do succeed together.
If you think miracles don’t happen often enough, then this is your chance to help make miracles happen.
At Dakota West Credit Union we are determined to make miracles happen in our backyard. From now until October 17, all eight branches are accepting donations to the Children’s Miracle Network with our contributions going to our regional CMN hospital: Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo.
Your generosity to our regional CMN hospital help provide care for all children, regardless of illness, injury, or a family's ability to pay. Donations also helps provided needed equipment, community outreach programs, and medical research.
As our members know, we are a Co-Op Shared Branching credit union, but you may not have known that Co-Op Shared Branch Network is a national sponsor of the Children’s Miracle Network. How fortunate we are to be affiliated with the second largest branch network in the United States, and how fortunate the kids needing extra TLC at Sanford Children’s Hospital will be thanks to your help in making miracles happen for them.
On the final day of our campaign, stop into one of our branches – we will be wearing our “miracle jeans” in support of Children’s Miracle Network. Each Dakota West employee sporting their favorite denim is making a donation to the CMN. Join us for Miracle Jeans Day on Thursday, October 17, which also happens to be International Credit Union Day. What better way to show how credit unions make miracles in our communities!
We believe that miracles really do happen. Dakota West staff and members have the jeans to prove it.
How Do You Measure The Value Of A Loan?
We’ve started asking this question throughout North Dakota. Value implies more than just dollars and cents. Value means an addition that makes one choice preferable over the other, like amenities at a hotel. We have the ability to compare savings when shopping online for airfare or car insurance.
At Dakota West, we also want to start a conversation about our values – what we believe and what we practice when we service a loan, when we help a new member open an account, or when we complete a transaction at our drive-through windows. We value the trust that our borrowers place in us. We value the commitment made by our team and our members when we enter this partnership. And, above all else, we value the relationship that grows while working with our members.
We find value in doing more for our members, not just in our branches, but in our communities. This past week we sponsored the Fusion Conference in Bowman. This autumn we’ve driven in homecoming parades in several communities (when the weather didn’t rain on our parade). We are in the midst of our campaign to support the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Fargo. We support local rodeos, fairs, school sporting and booster events, and regional tournaments. We volunteer as emergency responders, in our state parks, with community organizations, and at our churches.
Our values and the way we serve our members, put simply, come down to this:
We are ready to listen.
We succeed together.
We can do this together.
We value your trust.
That’s how we measure our values.
