International Credit Union (ICU) Day has been celebrated annually since 1948. It’s a time where we celebrate the credit union movement of People Helping People.

Last year, Montana’s Credit Unions and their members gave 2,500 hours of volunteer time in just 19 days! This year, with your help, we want to build on that success. We invite all CU staff, members and friends to participate in a volunteer activity this October and log their hours at www.mcun.coop/givingtime to help us reach the goal to give 3,000 hours of service to celebrate ICU Day.

Because October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, RCFCU has partnered with SAFE to complete their annual facility deep clean and assist in downtown decorating and white ribbon distribution to help raise awareness.

Please join us on October 18 as we celebrate a worldwide movement that’s made helping people its number one priority for more than 70 years.

Thank you to all of the members who participated in our Summer Loan Promotion. With your help we were able to donate 615 pounds of cereal and canned/boxed food to Haven House this year!

Here is a few things that participants in last year’s series said about Solid Finances:

“The presenters are all encouraging and positive, which make the information easier to put into practice.”

“I saved over $30 per month on my insurance with the information I learned.”

“I am not rich but I love to learn about getting the most bang for my buck!”

“Sometimes years go by and you should think about things but you never get around to it. These webinars bring those items to the forefront…which is a good thing.”
