Celebration ideas
Download Print VersionCelebrate with your Membership
- Hold an open house at your credit union and branch offices. Conduct tours and serve refreshments. It's a great opportunity to build relationships with members and discuss your products and services.
- Invite your elected officials to a "Meet the Members" day.
- Get the word out about the history of the credit union movement by displaying posters and banners in your lobby.
- Hold a "guest day" at your credit union where members can bring guests for refreshments and learn more about your credit union.
- Let members "meet their credit union" by displaying your employees' photos and biographies and stories of your credit unions history.
- Offer loans or new share draft accounts for the same fees that your credit union charged the year it opened.
- Work cooperatively with other local credit unions to purchase outdoor billboard advertising space. Radio and television advertising can be very affordable when a group of credit unions contribute toward the cost.
- Organize a fun event to teach your staff and members about credit union history and philosophy. Set up booths featuring information on philosophy and operations. Punch a ticket at each booth and award 100th anniversary merchandise to those who fill their ticket.
- Coordinate efforts at the chapter level to produce a historical view of your credit unions in the area. This could be a traveling poster display or a slide presentation to be shown throughout the year.
- Sponsor an essay or art contest for young members or your entire membership. A short essay (100 words or less) about why your credit union is special would be appropriate. Publish the winning entries in your newsletter.
- Reward employees for exceptional service to members. Recognize members for exceptional service to the community.
- Organize an event with your legislators.
- Raise money for credit union development. While celebrating at your credit union, consider collecting pocket change for the National Credit Union Foundation or other worthwhile causes. This "little change" can contribute to big changes in worldwide credit union progress.
- Plant a tree in a nearby park or on your credit union grounds. Coordinate a local beautification program. Sponsor a community clean-up effort or other charitable event.
- Hold a bike safety clinic for young people and donate helmets to needy children.
- Adopt a social service agency for the day or week and recruit staff and members to help out with tasks like serving meals, painting, filing, and cleanup.
- Hold a fundraising event for "Credit Unions for Kids" or another charity.
- Collect business clothes to donate to a local organization that helps people get back into the workplace.
- Join forces with other credit unions in your area to sponsor a team for a walk or run for a good cause. Provide members of your team with t-shirts to identify them as credit union staff and members.
- Hold a special event for staff and board members to celebrate your credit unions history.
- Purchase promotional items to give as thank you’s for being part of the success of the credit union movement.
