CoVantage Credit Union and credit unions in 105 countries will celebrate International Credit Union Day on Thursday.
Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. Each year, the international event affords the opportunity to remember credit unions’ proud history and promote awareness of and support for the credit union difference.
This year’s theme, “People Helping People,” embraces the longstanding credit union philosophy.
“We continue to work hard to develop ways to serve all members, regardless of their situation,” CoVantage Credit Union President Brian Prunty said. “Young, old, financially secure, or living from paycheck to paycheck, all members have financial needs, and it is our job, and all credit unions for that matter, to work to meet those needs. That is what ‘People Helping People’ is all about.”
Residents are invited to join the staff of CoVantage Credit Union as they celebrate the unique service credit unions provide and the many ways individuals, families and communities have benefited from the credit union difference. Refreshments will be served in the Antigo, Wausau, Weston, Rib Mountain, Rothschild, Stevens Point, Crandon, Shawano, Rhinelander, Iron River and Crystal Falls offices on Thursday.
The Shawano office is at 911 E. Green Bay St.
