Ferndale, Michigan - As part of the heritage of their city, the Grand Rapids branch of Credit Union ONE recently participated in the 2013 Pulaski Days Parade.

Pulaski Days has been celebrated in Grand Rapids for over forty years and this year according to event coordinators they had record attendance for the festival.

Credit union staff volunteered their time and constructed a float for the parade.  The Credit Union ONE float had a giant ATM spitting out money, while dancing debit cards ran alongside the float and handed out candy and goodie bags to onlookers.

“Credit Union ONE enjoys participating in annual community events like the Pulaski Days Parade,” said Sharon Blower, Credit Union ONE Grand Rapids Branch Manager.  “Our staff really gets into putting together the float, and our members love seeing their credit union in the parade.  Our thanks go out to one of our members, Summit Landscape for providing the truck, trailer and driver for our float; we couldn’t have done it without them.”

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for seventy-five years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 30,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 108,000 members, with seventeen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
