Musings from the CU Suite

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

I hopped in an Uber this week, shut the door and buckled up. 

The driver asked where I was headed. 

Off to see some credit union friends, I said.

I love my credit union, he answered. 

Talk about a shot in the arm!

Alright, here's our weekend challenge. At least once, all of us should ask our barber, tax guy or gal, dog groomer, paper boy or girl, or whomever else we choose - ask them if they belong to a credit union.

If they say no, start preaching.
