WINTER weather is
coming to North
Shore mountains and
it’s timely that North
Shore Credit Union
branches begin anoth-
er in a series of
fundraising initiatives.
This time, it’s a raffle to

raise funds to purchase
equipment for the North
Shore Rescue Team Society’s
command vehicle project.
The rescue team works
year round, sometimes under
horrific conditions on treach-
erous mountain terrain at all
hours of the day and night.
These volunteers save
fives. Their canyon and

A pertect opportunity to stock’

mountain rescues are Ieg-
endary. Their needs are
great.

The North Shore Credit
Union continues to be a
strong supporter for the
non-profit society that funds
the team.

This year, the North
Shore Rescue Team takes
delivery of a new fully-

equipped $400,000 rescue
vehicle.

NSCU provided an initial
$30,000 corporste contribu-
tion over three years as well
as a Jow-interest loan to
allow the rescue team to
begin the year-long job of
assembling the truck while
the fundraising continued.

Staff members continue

to come up with fundraising
activities for the team’s spe-
cial needs.

For example, staff at the
Marine Drive raised enough
funds to purchase two gener-
ators worth over $1,100.
The NSCU Golf
Tournament, held in
September, brought in a fur-
ther $3,300 for the team.
