Ferndale, Michigan - Recently Credit Union ONE staff and board members had the opportunity to join the Oakland County Chapter of Credit Unions on a bus trip for "Lansing Advocacy Day", May 6, 2015.

The goal for this annual event was to bring at least 40 credit union representatives from Oakland County to Lansing in an effort to build and maintain relationships with Oakland County lawmakers, and also to give credit union representatives exposure to credit union grassroots involvement.

Participants learn about important issues affecting credit unions in our state legislature, have the opportunity to network informally with Oakland County State Senators and Representatives, and provide a credit union perspective to our elected representatives.

The bus was full, the conversation was lively, and a successful day was had by all.

  Ferndale, Michigan – Over five tons of documents were collected for shredding as more than 400 Credit Union ONE members converged at the Credit Union ONE Macomb Branch to participate in a document shred day.  The annual event, held on Saturday, May 16th gave members the opportunity to protect themselves from identity theft and fraud.
 

“To create an awareness about the risks of identity theft and fraud, and to provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of unneeded paperwork, we have been holding document shred events for our members," said John Kozich, Credit Union ONE Vice President of Community Relations. "The response continues to grow as more members are becoming aware of the dangers of identity theft and fraud, and we plan to continue offering this service at various Credit Union ONE locations.”

 

In addition to the success of the shredding event, generous members donated over $314 to support the Children’s Miracle Network while at the event.

 

"This is a great service for members," said Credit Union ONE member Michelle Schoenek.  "The workers were so helpful and polite, and I am very happy to get all of that paper out of my house."

 

Shred Corp., the industry-leading document recycling company donated their time and equipment to provide secure on-site shredding services.  After the event, the shredded paper waste was taken away for recycling into paper towel.
