ANNOUNCEMENT!
Community 1st Credit Union is excited to announce a week of celebrations and initiatives in honor of International Credit Union (ICU) Day 2023. C1CU is joining credit unions worldwide to highlight the credit union movement and its dedication to the community, culminating on October 19 with special member events.

 

A central feature of this celebration is the “Socktober” Sock Donation Drive. Throughout the week, members and visitors can drop off new socks at any C1CU branch. Each branch will showcase bins uniquely decorated by their dedicated staff, and these socks will be donated to charities within each branch's community.

 

“We believe in giving back to our communities and the Sock Donation Drive is a direct reflection of this ethos. Especially as the colder months approach, these donations will go a long way in providing comfort and warmth,” commented Rebecca Riker, Vice President of Member Experience.

 

Internally, C1CU staff is getting into the spirit of the celebration by participating in a friendly competition. They will submit pictures of their creatively decorated sock donation bins, and a winner will be selected for a special prize.

 

The festivities peak on ICU Day, October 19, when members are invited to any C1CU branch between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Here they can enjoy complimentary snacks, beverages, and a free giveaway item. Additionally, the first 25 members at each branch will receive an exclusive International Credit Union Day 2023 Non-Woven Shopper Tote Bag.

 

In addition to these events, C1CU remains dedicated to the education and empowerment of its members. An array of financial literacy articles and credit union education resources will be posted each day during the week of October 19 at MyC1CU.com/ICU2023. These will cover a range of topics from the history of credit unions and The Credit Union Difference to the story of Community 1st Credit Union itself, and practical tools like budgeting help.

 

“ICU Day isn’t just about celebration, but also about education. We want our members to understand the unique benefits of credit unions and equip them with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions,” added Chase Roper, Accounts Control Officer.

 

C1CU encourages everyone to get involved, whether it's donating socks, visiting a branch to partake in the celebrations, or enhancing one's financial literacy through online resources.
