Credit Union Stories Wanted!
October 15, 2013
Credit unions continually demonstrate their ability to improve the lives of individuals, families, communities and countries around the world, and have done so for generations.� Right now, while the credit union tax status is under scrutiny and at peril, it is more important than ever for us to stand up and be heard.� One way that we can increase awareness and support is to generate our own publicity.
As we celebrate International Credit Union Day this Thursday, we celebrate the theme of "Credit Unions Unite for Good" with more than 196 million people worldwide to establish credit unions as Americans best financial partner.� What will your credit union do to celebrate International Credit Union Day on October 17?
Will you be hosting a free "Shred Day", offering members refreshments and snacks, holding a contest with great prizes, or distributing important information to members advocating financial safety and literacy?� Whatever your plans may be, we can't wait to hear about them!
Please share your stories and photos with us, and we will post on the Memo and on CU Social Good.� We cant wait to hear about your events!� Email to sharestories@cusocialgood.com�or submit on line�.
