Credit Union Donates $50 K to Senior Center

"Rockland Federal Credit Union believes in giving back to the communities it� serves," said Thomas C. White, president and chief executive officer. "We� believe that the Rockland Senior Center will provide a much needed resource for� adults in our community and we are gratified to be a part of this effort. "One of the main reasons the development of the Senior Center has been� special from the beginning is the people who want to be involved," White said. "There are many kind and unselfish people who share their time and energy to� help make a positive impact in Rockland and around the region. With support from� Rockland Federal Credit Union, our corporate partners and volunteers, we are� grateful for the positive effect we are able to have on Rockland-area� organizations and nonprofits." The $50,000 donation has been designated for the cafeteria, including the� kitchen and cafeteria furniture. John Rogers, spokesman for the Senior Center Capital Campaign Fund,� expressed his appreciation. "As a credit union member and former director, and� long time resident of Rockland, I am absolutely thrilled that the credit union I� have been close to all these years has stepped up to the plate with such a� generous gift. This donation from Rockland Federal Credit Union will enable us� to provide many extra things for our seniors that were not in our budget." Rockland Senior Center is expected to open by June 2014 and will include� meeting and conference rooms, fitness area, crafts/games room, cafeteria with� kitchen, living room, on site nurse and outreach services.
