Today, Lockheed Federal Credit Union will honor longtime member Inez Harries, who along with her identical twin sister Venice Shaw will turn 100 on Jan. 15.

According to information from the Guinness Book of World Records, Harries and Shaw are the second oldest female identical twins in the world.

Lockheed's 100-themed birthday party will include one of the largest cakes local Porto's Bakery has ever baked and the credit union will present Harries with a gift of a $100 deposit into her account each month for the entire year. The Burbank, Calif.-based credit union will also hold a drawing for a $100 bill for members who attend the birthday celebration.

"We are honored to have served Mrs. Harries as a member of Lockheed Federal Credit Union for many years, and excited to host the twins' birthday," Lockheed FCU President /CEO Dave Styler said. "I'm told that the chance of twins both celebrating their 100th birthday is one in 700 million, and so we are delighted to be part of this extraordinary milestone."

It turns out the twins share a birthday milestone with the City of Burbank, which is also hosting its centennial celebration this year.
