Hamden, Conn. (October 2, 2013) – Connex Credit Union will donate all fees collected from their Hamden branch coin counting machine from October 1 through December 31 to Concepts for Adaptive Learning (CfAL). The coin counting machine charges 5 percent to Connex members and 7 percent to non-members.
