Third Annual CCCU School Supply Drive
|
|
|
|
We want to send a big thank you to our VALUED members, employees and community for donating to our third annual school supply drive!
During the drive held in late July, we collected high demand school supply items, hygiene necessities like underwear and socks, and even winter coats in preparation for the colder months ahead. Because of your combined efforts, the CCCU Cares committee was able to add a third school to support this year. In total, CCCU was able to collect 6,298 school supply items and raised $1,725.07 in cash donations!!
One of the stand-out donations came from Michael and Michelle M. who gave 52,500 kids face masks and 100 bottles of hand sanitizer to the drive. They said, “We are just glad we can give back to our community.” In our current environment, these items are in high demand for students.
The school supply drive proudly provided support to Keller Elementary School, Antonello Elementary School and Fong Elementary School (just added this year). In addition to the supplies, the CCCU Cares Committee presented Keller ES* with a check to Green Our Planet. This will allow the school to participate in the Outdoor Garden STEM Program which brings a wide variety of skills to the schools, including architectural design, hydroponics, financial literacy, graphic arts, horticulture and health sciences.
Thank you again to everyone who supported the 2021 CCCU School Supply Drive. We hope this school year is a little brighter for the kiddos in our community! To learn more about other ways the CCCU Cares Committee gives back to our local community, check out the CUInsight Press Release here.
*Keller ES has been a CCCU partner school since 2019.

As you may have seen in the news lately, fraudsters are targeting Amazon shoppers with their newest scam: fake refunds and phony customer service reps. CCCU has the details to keep you and your accounts safe from scammers:
The Scam: Know the Red Flags - Someone claiming to be an Amazon representative calls you to issue a refund due to an overcharge or fraudulent charge on the account.
- The customer is instructed to login to their Amazon account and give remote account access to the fake Amazon rep.
- The victim is then asked to log into their bank account to process the refund.
- The fake Amazon rep will then say that they accidentally refunded too much money and the victim needs to buy a gift card or send a wire to pay back the overpayment.
Avoiding the Scam - Amazon will never contact you to issue a refund and will never ask for remote access to your account. Warning: Once you allow the fraudster into your computer, they will be able to completely take it over and have access to ALL your personal information and passwords.
- If you receive a similar call, hang up and report the fraudulent call to ftc.gov/complaint and follow the onscreen assistant.
- Do not give out personal information over the phone or in an email.
- Stay alert - fraudsters are sophisticated and will gather pieces of your personal information (like an address) to make the call sound legitimate.
- Never share passwords or PINs over the phone or in an email.
- If you receive a suspicious email, text or webpage claiming to be Amazon, report that directly to Amazon via email at stop-spoofing@amazon.com. Note: Send the suspicious email as an attachment and never click on any links.

Member Since 1966: Douglass R.,
Retired Las Vegas Police Officer
|
|
|
|
|
Douglass joined Clark County Credit Union in the summer of 1966 when he was working for the Las Vegas Police Department as a Police Officer. At the time, Las Vegas had few trusted banks, so for Douglass, “CCCU was the safest bet,” he said.
“I originally joined the credit union when they were located inside the Courthouse,” said Douglass. Over the years he’s seen many changes. “It’s always been a fast-paced city and the changes have been bigger and better ones! The credit union also keeps adding more programs with great savings accounts - I also like that the people are honest.”
Douglass has since retired to Pahrump, and still enjoys the benefits of the credit union no matter where he lives. In addition to his savings and checking accounts, he has saved with low-rate auto loans and a mortgage. Douglass said, “CCCU has helped me reach my financial goals and dreams over the years by helping me save money and keep my money safe.”
Thank you, Douglass, for your many years of membership and for serving the Las Vegas community as a Police Officer! We are grateful you are a part of our history and our 70th Anniversary celebration.
