Each year we come together to celebrate International Credit Union (ICU) Day to raise awareness about what it means for members around the world to have a credit union as their financial partner. This year's global health crisis has been trying for many communities around the world, but credit unions stayed true to their cooperative principles and stepped up during this time of economic uncertainty. Hope is a global resource that everyone has a right to feel and experience. This year's ICU Day theme “Inspiring hope for a global community” reflects how credit unions contribute to a brighter future by providing financial empowerment to people all over the world through financial services, education and support. Normally, we look forward to celebrating ICU Day each year at the credit union with our members. However, due to COVID-19, our ICU Day celebrations will be a little different this year than the have been in past years. Follow our Facebook page to see more about our new, and safe, ICU Day celebration plans that will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2020.

As we take a moment to pause and reflect on the year of 2020 as a credit union, we feel fortunate and grateful for our membership. Through our members continued use and confidence in Members Choice, our credit union has not only survived but has thrived. All of the uncertainties that we have faced in 2020 as a community, nation and world, have been a reminder as to why the credit union exists. Times like these are why we take pride in our cooperative spirit of people helping people. While your credit union is as strong as ever, and here for all of your financial needs, we also recognize that this past year has also brought a lot of pain and hurt for so many. While our role as a financial institution is to assist in maintaining our members’ financial lives, we also care for your personal well-being, and we hope the very best for every single one of our members. We are now, and always hope Cheers to a happy and healthy 2021! to be, one big MCWV family. Thank you to all of our members for another great year in the credit union!
