Telhio Announces Winner of Telhio Gives Your Dreams Wings Vacation Giveaway

COLUMBUS, OH (July 23, 2013) — Chrisi Penner, of Centerburg, Ohio, recently won a trip for two to the Occidental Grand Xcaret Mexico Resort, courtesy of Telhio Credit Union.  The promotional trip was rooted in an appreciation for the beauty of butterflies, and includes an exciting visit to a butterfly pavilion in Mexico.

Winner of the vacation giveaway, Chrisi Penner, is a longtime member of Telhio Credit Union, with Telhio having played a pivotal part in her family’s financial planning for generations.  Chrisi is an active and accomplished butterfly enthusiast.  Each year, she plants a garden of milkweed to house reproducing butterflies.  Chrisi then harvests and hatches the butterfly eggs, and releases the newly-born butterflies into their natural habitat.

Telhio’s partnership with COSI in sponsorship of Flight of the Butterflies in 3-D inspired the Telhio Gives Your Dreams Wings Vacation Giveaway contest.  Flight of the Butterflies in 3-D is appearing on the Extreme Screen at COSI, now through September.  Telhio members can receive special COSI discounts, such as $5 off an exhibit and movie combo ticket.
