                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. TIMOTHY H. BISHOP

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 10, 2012

  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the 
Teachers Federal Credit Union, a financial institution dedicated to the 
continued success of its members and to promoting financial literacy 
throughout the community.
  It is with great pleasure that I offer my congratulations to the TFCU 
on the occasion of their 60th anniversary and the opening of its new 
headquarters in Hauppauge.
  Since its founding in 1952, Teachers Federal Credit Union has grown 
from a tiny credit union with seven members and $35 to an institution 
with over 200,000 members and $4 billion in assets. Along the way, TFCU 
and its members have found time to demonstrate a continued commitment 
to efforts aimed at preserving the environment and improving the 
quality of life enjoyed by Long Islanders.
  I would also like to commend TFCU on its continuing dedication to the 
promotion of financial literacy. In recognition of that dedication, the 
Teachers Federal Credit Union has been awarded the Desjardins Youth 
Education Award, given in honor of significant commitment to youth 
financial education, six times.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to convey my sincere thanks to the Teachers 
Federal Credit Union, and my hopes for their continued success at their 
new Hauppauge location.
