Coca-Cola Club collects more than just memorabilia

Memorabilia is not the only thing being collected by the MD-DC-VA Chapter of the Coca-Cola Collectors Club; several of its members recently collected multiple bags of brand-new toys which they donated to Toys for Tots. While attending the club's annual Christmas party, Treasurer Wayne Obermire and his wife Lois, along with their grandson Cpl. Tyler Elzey of the Woodbridge Marine Corps Junior ROTC, volunteered to deliver the toys to Tidemark Federal Credit Union in Seaford, which functions as a Toys for Tots drop-off location.

Tidemark CEO Pamela Fleuette was extremely moved by the club's gesture. She said, "We are so appreciative of the generosity displayed by this chapter of the Coca-Cola Collectors Club and to all of our credit union members, like Wayne and Lois, who never seem to forget that the true spirit of Christmas is in the giving. It was especially kind of Cpl. Elzey to accompany his grandparents and to proudly represent the Woodbridge Marine Corps Junior ROTC. This level of caring and generosity can only be rewarded by the smiles that will appear on many children's faces this Christmas when they see a special gift under their tree. I thank everyone who contributed!"

Tidemark Federal Credit Union has existed as a nonprofit, member-owned, cooperative financial institution for more than 57 years, serving those who live, work, worship, attend school and/or volunteer in Sussex County and more recently Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties in Maryland.
