PHOENIX — Arizona credit unions were marking International Credit Union Day this week with a high-profile "Together We Paint" project at cities across the state involving hundreds of CU employees, members and volunteers spending time painting the homes of seniors and low income families.
By the time the campaign is complete next week, some 40 homes will have been repainted as TV and radio coverage of the event from Tucson to Yuma has continued most of the month, said the Arizona Credit Union System, coordinator of the beautification event.
"It was simply wonderful to have 60 employees, their families and volunteers show up to repaint two homes and I think that 60 is the record in the state for having the most workers among all credit unions," said Miriam Limon, communicators coordinator for AEA FCU of Yuma.
