Kanjorski Scholarship Winner Honored At Luncheon

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:12:37 +0000

Tuesday was not just another day for Carrie Wood, CEO of Timberland FCU and winner of the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association’s first Paul E. Kanjorski Advocacy Scholarship. Wood was honored at a luncheon Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre, with former Congressman Paul Kanjorski, Association staff, and members of the Awards Committee.

Carrie Wood is congratulated as the recipient of the first Paul E. Kanjorski Advocacy Scholarship, by former Congressman Paul Kanjorski (right) and Association President/CEO Jim McCormack.

The scholarship covers the expenses to attend the 2012 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C. next month.

Association President/CEO Jim McCormack recognized Carrie and thanked Congressman Kanjorski for all the work he has done over the years to support the credit union movement.

“The Awards Committee picked the right person in Carrie,” said Kanjorski. “She is bright, energetic, and passionate about the credit union movement.”

Kanjorski also discussed the current political climate and issues that impact credit unions. “You have to keep cultivating new credit union champions in Congress,” he told the group. “You need to make sure your message is heard.”

In acknowledging her scholarship, Wood said, “I am very excited to go to the GAC, especially after meeting with (State Rep.) Sam Smith, Speaker of the House. I really want to do all I can to make things better for the credit union movement.”

As an example of her political involvement, Wood explained that she did a history lesson for her credit union staff, outlining how and where credit unions came from and where we are going as a movement, as well as political advocacy.

Student Loans

A Better Way to Pay for College

Timberland Federal Credit Union’s Student Choice Private Loan Solution

With zero origination fees, lower interest rates and flexible repayment options, it is easy to see why our private student loan solution is a better way to pay for college. Whether you are a student yourself or the parent of a student, Timberland FCU is here to help.

Our Credit Union Student Choice private loan solution will help fill funding gaps that federal aid can leave behind. As the cost of both public and private colleges and universities continues to increase, federal funding has not kept pace. This growing gap between what college costs and the financial aid available is causing many families to resort to higher cost private student loans to pay for higher education.

Since Timberland FCU is here for one reason only – to serve our members – we are able to offer more competitive student loan options and save you money. Student loans are a long-term relationship and it is important to choose a lender carefully. Be sure you read the fine print and compare fees, terms and repayment options (not just rates) when comparing student loans.

Remember, Timberland FCU’s goal is not just to help you fund a college education for yourself or a family member, but to become your financial partner for life. You can also apply for a student loan by clicking here or calling our 24/7 student lending call center at 1-877-220-4507.

Zeno Cafe

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:52:13 +0000

This new cafe was designed from the ground up, including concept branding and interior design, as the prototype for national expansion. With a few bold design moves, and within a tight budget, a fresh look was created in a café that buzzes with activity day and night.

“With its eye-on-the-city windows and hip, Design Within Reach-ish interior,” wrote Rick Nelson in the StarTribune, “Zeno injects a few volts of style electricity into” Uptown.

Tyrol Hills Modern

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:48:42 +0000

This 1980’s home was clearly a gem in the making. Though awkwardly configured and dated on the interior, we recognized the potential of the home’s underlying architecture and its site. We removed all the interior walls, exposing the tall vaulted spaces hidden within the roof trusses. Spaces are defined by walls of red birch cabinetry, while glass transoms and hidden doors provide acoustic separation.

Large windows and a 16-foot folding glass door open the home to its wooded site. Unusual materials bring warmth and depth to the “organic modern” design, including an undulating stone floor and custom mosaic backsplash. High shelves above the kitchen, accessed by a sliding library ladder, provide spaces to showcase art and books. This home was on the Spring 2011 Remodeler’s Showcase Tour, and was featured in the October 2011 Mpls.St.Paul Home magazine. The home also received two 2011 COTY awards from NARI Minnesota, including best whole house renovation and and honorable mention for best kitchen.

East Isles Arts & Crafts Tudor

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:43:59 +0000

This stately home, the work of Minneapolis architect Harry Wild Jones, lacked the combined kitchen, dining, and family room spaces which work well for modern family living. The beautifully proportioned addition, which opens to a new terrace and garden, was designed to blend seamlessly with the existing home. A continuous band of windows surrounding the new spaces creates a light-filled, sunroom feeling. The spaces within have a more modern aesthetic, and the cherry cabinetry complements both the modern detailing and the traditional moldings of the home. At the second floor, the master suite opens onto a balcony with stunning views of Lake of the Isles.

Mid-Century Modern

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:18:53 +0000

The entry to this 1950s mid-century modern home in Edina was dark and hidden before this dynamic addition. The overpowering garage was deemphasized by surrounding it with a generous master suite above and new guest room on the main level. The interplay of geometric, illuminated red planes creates a brilliant lantern at the entry. The tall entrance has become the hub of activity in this busy house, connecting the different levels of the home to a master suite that includes a spa-like bathroom.

The project was featured in the March 2008 issue of Midwest Home magazine.

Fremont Georgian

summitwp-admin1234 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:51:08 +0000

This East Lake Harriet Home had incredible architectural bones, but a complete renovation was needed after years of neglect to create a home for this young family. An addition provides for a light filled eat-in kitchen, family room and mudroom that create flow through the home and open the spaces to the expansive backyard.

Traditional detailing and dark wood floors give the rooms a warm feeling, while large cased openings and enameled woodwork provide a brightness lacking in many older homes. Unique materials give the home a personal touch suited to the homeowners, including Moroccan terracotta tile, fanciful encaustic tile, icebox cabinet latches and solid walnut and zinc countertops. A collection of new and antique furniture, coupled with fabric ready for the abuse of family living, finishes off this incredible home.

Cedar Lake International Style

summitwp-admin1234 — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:49:16 +0000

Built in 1935 as a weekend home, this unique International Style home on Cedar Lake is a designated Minneapolis Landmark and one of the few lakeshore homes in the city. The present owners had outgrown the home but loved its modernist expression, Art Deco influences, and beautiful lake views. Among the changes, a new third floor was added to create a master suite aerie with a sweeping terrace and panoramic views. Peterssen/Keller worked closely with the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and Streeter to enlarge the home and incorporate energy efficient updates while respecting the integrity and scale of the original design.

This home won a 2012 AIA Minnesota Home of the Month Award for design excellence, was featured on the 2011 Homes By Architects Tour, will appear in the forthcoming book Legendary Homes Of Minneapolis City Of Lakes, by Bette Hammel & Karen Melvin and will be featured in the May 6th Home section of the Star Tribune.
