RIVERSIDE, Calif.– Jose F. Gonzalez, an Altura Credit Union member from Lake Elsinore, has become the third winner in the credit union’s “Visit Your Dream Destination” giveaway. As part of a celebration of Altura’s 60th anniversary, the credit union is thanking its Members by giving away four dream vacations in 2017.
Gonzalez is the latest to win the prize. An Altura member for more than 15 years, Gonzalez was among three finalists in the recent drawing held at the Altura’s Cactus Branch in Moreno Valley.
“There are no words to describe the feeling, the emotions. It’s just an awesome thing,” Gonzalez said about winning the prize. “I was in shock. We had a lot of different destinations in mind, but now that we found out we can take the family, I think we’re going to Hawaii. Both of my kids have dreamed of going to Hawaii.”
Altura members can earn multiple contest entries every time they swipe their Altura debit or credit card to make a purchase, as well as when they submit a completed loan application or apply for a checking account.
