Premier Federal Credit Union’s Hot Dog Sale
Jeff recently posted on the CU Communicator blog about Premier FCU’s annual hot dog sale. This is a great example of a credit union reaching their members in a fun way. One of the coolest things about this post on the CU Communicator is that there’s a video to give you a behind the scenes look at how they assembled the event and how it all went down. Check it out!

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:

The Future of Credit Unions
The CU Loop, run by Andy LaFlamme, recently made an interesting post about how credit unions will look in the year 2020. Andy made a little commentary on an article posted that forecasted the credit union future, which can be read here.

Andy makes a lot of great points from the diversity among all credit unions to tackling the issue of mergers. We’d highly suggest you check out Andy’s great post and get in on the discussion. While you’re at it, subscribe to his RSS feed - you won’t be disappointed!

Micro Community Grants
CU Communicator, run by Jeff Hardin, featured a post this week about Carolinas Credit Union Foundation and their recent presentation of nearly $10,000 to help the struggling and homeless get back on their feet.

A contribution like this is a great way for a credit union to really get involved with their community. We applaud this foundation for doing something really great to help out the local community.
