GLENDORA, Calif.–America’s Christian Credit Union joined 56,000 credit unions across the globe in celebrating International Credit Union (ICU) Day.
ACCU welcomed its members and guests with cookies and lemonade at the main branch in Glendora, as well as at the Azusa branch. In addition, employees celebrated with an international potluck, sharing treats from several different cultures. Some of the countries represented were England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Israel, India, Mexico, and the Philippines.
“Ever since our first International Potluck five years ago, the third Thursday of October has consistently been one of the most anticipated dates of the year,” said HR director Richard Mathews. “We decorate the lunchroom with flags of the world, and sprinkle in messages spotlighting the credit union themes of cooperation, civic engagement, and service.”
“As a credit union rooted in the Wesleyan Holiness tradition, rich in cultural history and deep thinking, and motivated by a commitment to restoring God’s image in all people, we are so much more than a traditional financial institution,” said ACCU president and CEO Mendell Thompson. “We care for the well-being of God’s people here on earth not just financially, but holistically, so we can accelerate Kingdom impact together.”
