Credit Union Day Celebration at the Tobacco Valley Teachers FCU

The Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union (TVTFCU) in Enfield recently celebrated International Credit Union Day with this year’s theme, “Dreams Thrive Here.” Credit union’s and their members around the world celebrate this event to commemorate the credit union movement’s impact and achievements. Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide an effective and viable alternative to for-profit financial institutions for more than 235 million members in 109 countries worldwide. Any profit made by a credit union is returned to its members through higher savings rates and lower loan rates.

TVTFCU celebrated by providing refreshments, give-a-ways and prizes. A Liberty Mutual Insurance representative was on hand as well as a Sprint representative to provide information about discounts and benefits exclusively for credit union members. The credit union also offered “TVTFCU Days at Costco” where TVTFCU members could visit Costco in Enfield even if they did not have a Costco membership.

“We enjoy celebrating Credit Union Day with our members. This is a day to show appreciation for our members as well as remember all the benefits the credit union movement has provided to individuals world-wide. It is also a day to recognize the hard work of our staff and volunteer board members,” said Lori Triba, CEO/Manager for the Tobacco Valley Teachers Federal Credit Union.
