Technology Credit Union Partners With Vanished Children's Alliance


SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 17, 2007 -- Technology Credit Union (Tech CU) has partnered with the Vanished Children Alliance (VCA), a national nonprofit that assists in the location and recovery of missing or abducted children, to help disseminate information to its members and employees about missing children in the Bay Area.

As part of its support, Tech CU will regularly rotate an image of a missing child featured by VCA on its online banking login page. The photo will link to the VCA website where members can find out more about the case, as well as a phone number to contact if they have information that may assist in the recovery of the child.

Tech CU is committed to being a social leader in the Bay Area. Through its community relations program, the credit union helps to raise awareness among its employees, members, and the community for local nonprofits and community outreach organizations. Throughout the year, Tech CU will sponsor several community service events that support financial education along with children, youth, and family services in the Bay Area.
