Welcome to the NW Suburban Teachers Union Local 1211

Dear Union Communicator,

These days affording higher education is even more difficult for working families and so Union Privilege has created a grant program to jump-start their savings accounts for college.

Please use the materials enclosed in this e-mail to let your members know about the Union Plus College Savings Grant Program as part of the $3 million Union SAFE initiative. Union members or retirees with a Union Plus Credit Card, Mortgage or Union Secure policy can get a $500 grant if they open a new college saving plan to save for their child or grandchild's education. The deadline for opening a new account is June 30, 2009. There must be $1,000 in the account by November 30, 2009 to qualify for a $500 grant.

Here are some ways that you can let your members know about this grant money:

1. Include the attached article in the next issue of your newsletter. Article also available online.

2. Link to the Union Plus Website or place a web banner on your site.

3. Subscribe to an RSS feed on your website including consumer content to keep your members informed of the latest money-saving tips and tricks.

For more print-ready content, search the Ad and Article section of the Union Plus Press Room

Stay informed about all your union's Union Plus benefits by signing up for the free monthly Union Plus Leader Update e-newsletter.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you in getting the word out to your members.

In Solidarity,

Jennifer Wright Dorr
