ANTIGO, Wis. – On Thursday, Oct. 15, CoVantage Credit Union and credit unions in 105 countries will celebrate International Credit Union (ICU) Day by joining together and celebrating their cooperative spirit, a spokesperson said.

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,” noted CoVantage Credit Union President Brian Prunty.

“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,” he added.

Please 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, a spokesperson added.

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, Oct. 15.
