Ferndale, Michigan – In an effort to provide exposure to their new Pinterest page and to continue the celebration of their 75th Anniversary, Credit Union ONE held a contest July 15-26, 2013 asking members to pin photos of great relationships in their lives along with a caption of what 75 years means to them. 

Entries were judged and two very lucky winners Stacy Davis and Janna Smith each received a Grand Prize weekend all expenses paid trip to Mackinac Island, while two runners-up received $100 gift cards and another four earned $75 gift cards.
