Local Credit Union Effort Aims to Support Small Business Local Credit Union Effort Aims to Support Small Business

10/17/12 - Credit unions across mid-Michigan, including Livingston County, put their money where their mouth is on Tuesday – by buying breakfast, lunch and other treats “cash mob”-style from local restaurants as part of a statewide program supporting local businesses. During the day-long CU Lunch Local program, credit unions and their employees supported a local business for everything from getting breakfast or lunch to purchasing gifts for staff. Dozens of Michigan credit unions, with hundreds of employees, across the state participated, including staff at Lake Trust Credit Union with branches in Howell and Brighton, who lunched at Cleary’s Pub in Howell. David Adams is the CEO of the Michigan Credit Union League and said the program is “…an opportunity to show everyone just how big the credit union commitment to small business really is.” (JK)
