Pacific Community Credit Union, Fullerton, Calif., has celebrated turning 50 with a Rock n' Roll theme that included photos with a Marilyn Monroe look alike and soda-fountain styled ice cream bar. Some 225 members and guests danced the night away after over 90 door prize winners were announced. To commemorate the occasion, PCCU commissioned local Fullerton artist Anthony Trasport to create a painting which depicts 50 years of the credit union's philosophy of "people helping people", community involvement, and service. The painting was also used as the cover for Pacific Community Credit Union's 2004 Annual Report. ESL Federal Credit Union, Rochester, N.Y., has announced a three year commitment to support the the United Way of Greater Rochester's annual Day of Caring.
