NEWCU Diary

News from the US:

The Wisconsin Credit Union League recently named the Fox Communities Credit Union its Dora Maxwell award winner.

The award is presented to credit unions for their charitable work and external programs that benefit their communities. Dora Maxwell was a pioneer for credit unions and performed good work for the needy in her community.

Fox Communities Credit Union took first place in the category of credit unions with more than $500 million assets.

During the past five years, the credit union has raised more then $43,000 for multiple charities.

From Deseret News:
The gym of Lincoln Elementary School was full of excitement, gifts and Christmas cheer Dec. 20 as students’ Christmas wishes were granted.

Utah Central Credit Union employees brought gifts for all 520 students in the school, which has become a tradition over the past 10 years.

Our AGM for 2005 was held on 17 November.

Our Credit Union is in good health with finances on a solid foundation. So much so that our Treasurer Alec recommended to the meeting a dividend payment of 4% for the year to 30 September. This was unanimously approved by the members present.

Passbooks will be updated shortly to reflect the dividend payment.

Our AGM is on 17 November at 7pm. It will be at the Hawthorne Centre, Orange Grove, Warrington. All members are very welcome to attend and vote (please bring your passbook to show John at the door). Light refreshments will be provided.

Afterwards we’ll be walking over to the Jolly Falstaff pub where our Treasurer, Alec, will be testing our knowledge with one of his fiendish quizzes. All this and a splendid Hotpot supper - you’d be mad to miss it.

So cancel your appointment with the tv and join us next Thursday.

See you there.
