Sioux Empire Federal Credit Union
recently held their “Black Saturday”
doorbuster promotional event where
people were lined up outside their
doors to earn a place in line for
low interest rates on vehicle loans.
It was close to 4:00pm on Friday, August
23, 2013 when the first person set up a
chairoutsideoftheNorthBranchofSioux
Empire Federal Credit Union. The line of
people only grew from there. By 8:00am
there were approximately 60 people in
line waiting for their chance to get a low-
rate vehicle loan—one of those people
even brought a recliner for the wait.
The event featured doorbuster low-
rate auto loans, where the Credit
Union preapproved close to 85 people
for approximately $1.5 million in
vehicles loans. Available rates at the
event were as low as 0.75%APR.
Many line up for Black Saturday
“Rain or shine, people were eager for
some low rates,” said Collin Long,
Sioux Empire Federal Credit Union
Marketing Specialist. “We had a
line of people around the building,
and many of those people sat for
hours on end through a series of
rain showers! That dedication not
only earned those people an evening
and morning of excitement, but also
earned them an affordable way to
make their next vehicle purchase.”

FUNDS RAISED IN SUPPORT OF
FOUR LOCAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS
Sioux Empire Federal Credit Union
recentlyconcludedtheirfundraising
campaign raising over $1200 for the
benefit of four local organizations.
Last year, the Credit Union ran
a community photo contest, in
which residents of the Sioux Empire
community submitted their photos
for a chance to have them used
in the 2013 Sioux Empire Federal
Credit Union member calendar. All
proceeds of calendar sales were then
given to the following organizations:
• Children’s Home Society of South
Dakota
• Feeding South Dakota Backpack
Program
• Make-A-Wish Foundation of
South Dakota
• Sioux Falls Humane Society
“This fund raising campaign
wasn’t only a fun way to get the
whole community involved with
supporting these great local causes,
but it was also a way to create
community awareness of our
ongoing giving initiative called
Dividend Donations,” said Sioux
Empire Federal Credit Union
President, Jeff Jorgensen.
Dividend Donations is
a Sioux Empire Federal
Credit program that
allows their members
to automatically
make donations to a
charitable organization
of their choice by
using the dividends
(interest) they earn on
their savings account products.
The program allows Sioux Empire
Federal Credit Union members to
choose among a predefined list of
localcharitableorganizations.Those
members can have their savings
account set up to automatically
make donations on their behalf
based on the dividends they accrue.

be sure to visit with a Member
Service Representative before the
card is reissued; otherwise, a default
card will be sent to you, and in order
to update that card to a style of your
choice, you will be subject to the
$5.00 debit card replacement fee.TAX TIP: During this time of year, you may not be thinking about your taxes, but
