INDIANAPOLIS — The 100,000th member of Indiana Members Credit Union recently received an unexpected gift of 100,000 pennies to mark the financial institution's membership growth milestone.
Holly Brune, a 20-year old student, was the lucky recipient. On the advice of her mother, who works for the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis system, Brune joined the credit union.
"When I joined, Indiana Members employees were wonderful to me. They really helped me and explained everything I needed to know," Brune said. "And, wow, to win $1,000, that was really cool. I can certainly use it for school. I certainly want to thank Indiana Members Credit Union and my mom for recommending that I join."

Brune said she's also thankful that the credit union "didn't make me take the money in pennies."
Founded in 1956 on the IUPUI campus, Indiana Members CU has grown to become one of the largest credit unions in the state with more than $1 billion in assets. It just recently opened its 25th branch.
