Hundreds of IRFCU Members and friends gathered at our Vero Beach office Friday October 23rd to celebrate Indian River Federal Credit Union’s 50th Anniversary! Be sure to visit our special 50th Anniversary page to see photos from the event!
Members enjoyed burgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill, as well as sodas, bottled water, tea, orange juice from Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company, ice cream samples from Marble Slab Creamery, and of course, our 50th Anniversary cake! Blue balloons filled the lobby, while Christian FM’s Extreme Machine got the party jumping with non-stop music. Over 400 members took home jam-packed goody-bags and hundreds also grabbed their 2010 IRFCU Calendar. One dozen IRFCU Members got even luckier, as their names were drawn as door prize winners.
Commissioners Wesley Davis and Peter O’Bryan stopped by to offer their congratulations, as did William Berg of the Florida Credit Union League. Davis thanked IRFCU for being an institution that “gets it,” referring to our slogan “Where People Are Worth More Than Money.” Berg offered a brief history lesson, telling of IRFCU’s humble beginnings and the growth we have achieved. IRFCU Board Chair H.T. “Sonny” Dean thanked our Members for making the Credit Union a success, and for the priviledge of serving them. Other Board Members, as well as President/CEO Bill Garrett, were also on hand for the occasion.
Our thanks go out to all those who helped make our 50th Anniversary event a success — our volunteers and staff; friends who donated food and/or beverage items, door prizes, goody-bag stuffers, etc; local media who helped promote the event; all those who were able to attend; and most of all, to all our Members! We look forward to serving you for many years to come!!!
