Fall 2020 RRCU Chronicle
International Credit Union Day
On October 15, 2020, Red River Credit Union will join with 56,000 credit unions around the world in celebration of International Credit Union (ICU) Day®. There are 200+ million credit union members around the world—more than 100 million in the U.S. alone—and RRCU joins them in celebration of the not-for-profit cooperative spirit that all credit unions share.
Each year we come together to celebrate International Credit Union Day (ICU Day) to raise awareness about what it means for members around the world to have a credit union as their financial partner. This year's global health crisis has been trying for many communities around the world, but credit unions stayed true to their cooperative principles and stepped up during this time of economic uncertainty. Hope is a global resource that everyone has a right to feel and experience. This year's ICU Day theme “Inspiring hope for a global community” reflects how credit unions contribute to a brighter future by providing financial empowerment to people all over the world through financial services, education and support.
Our Summerhill Road branch in Texarkana, Texas will hold a shredding event from 2PM-5PM on October 15th. We hope you'll join us and shred all your outdated and unneeded documents. Shredding services provided by Sustainable Services.
