Meet Savvy

Savvy, the Sandhill Crane
FNCU’s mascot!

Savvy stopped in Nebraska during migration, and loved it so much, she decided to stay!

“When I saw First Nebraska was looking for a mascot, I knew I’d be the perfect fit! I represent good fortune, happiness and longevity. I am also a symbol of peace, wisdom, fidelity and goodwill to others, which are all characteristics of the credit union philosophy of “people helping people,” and complements FNCU’s company values.

Plus, Nebraska is a special place for Sandhill Cranes. Each year, 400,000–600,000 of us stop to rest and refuel in Nebraska during our migration.”

Paula Warner Drawings

Paula Warner, artist

Savvy’s design was inspired by native Nebraska artist, Paula Warner. Paula designed six original pen-and-ink drawings for FNCU, and each of our branches has one on display. View her art in several galleries in Nebraska, or check out her book, “Introducing Sandy Crane” online. Learn more about Paula’s art by visiting www.paulawarner.com.
