History
When TEG FCU was founded in 1969, membership was limited to educators and government employees in the area, hence the bank's original name. Though initially denied, TEGCU eventually acquired a community charter in 2002, allowing anyone who lives, works, worships, attends school, or volunteers in Dutchess, Ulster, and Orange counties to join the credit union. TEG Federal provides an annual $1,000 scholarship to student members.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
