That’s right, homemade gifts. What better way to show someone you really care than by taking the time to create a homemade gift just for them.

Because we like the idea of creating special, one-of-a-kind gifts so much, we challenged Wescom employees to put on their creativity hats and make a gift for $25 and under.  We were impressed by the inventiveness shown by our employees who submitted some very fascinating gifts. A few really stuck out as favorites, and today we’d like to raffle them off as holiday gifts just for you! 

Here’s how the raffle works:  The first 5 members to email us at ecommunity@wescom.org  answering the following questions correctly, along with your full name and address, will win one of the wonderful homemade gifts shown above.

1.    What three Checking Account transactions will qualify a member for a chance to win up to $600 this holiday season?

2.    How many fee-free, nationwide CO-OP ATMs does a member have access to?

3.    What is the last day to place a specialty gift card order on eBranch to receive it by Christmas?

4.    What is the maximum character limit for an eBranch User ID?

5.    What is the minimum amount of points needed to start redeeming MyRewards Points?

Hint: Visit www.wescom.org to find the answers. 

Good luck. We hope these gifts inspire you to create something unique for the special people in your life this holiday season.

If you’re like me and love to travel, I find there is nothing better than a summer road trip. Hitting the open road for unexpected adventures doesn’t get any better. And now, road-tripping is even easier and more convenient with access to your cash at over 28,000 fee-free ATMs across the country. You’ll only be a couple of blocks away from an ATM.

Have you discovered something special on a recent road trip? We’d love to hear your travel tips, hidden gems, shortcuts, and great places to eat. Did you find a CO-OP ATM in an unexpected place? Share your experiences and photos with the Wescom community and we’ll send you a fun giveaway item to get you started on your next summertime trip.

Also, when you make a deposit, withdraw cash, or transfer money through any one of Wescom’s ATMs or at any one of the over 28,000 CO-OP Network ATMs, you’ll be entered into Wescom’s ATM Getaway Sweepstakes. Each transaction in the months of June and July is an entry into our Sweepstakes.

Summer's nearly upon us, so there’s no better time to pack your bags and hit the road! I look forward to hearing about your adventures!
