Georgia's Own Credit Union
Quicknotes: Message from our President
As we head into October, I’m happy to share that we’re hosting our 16th Annual Golf Challenge to support L.E.A.D. and their mission to empower an at-risk generation to transform Atlanta. Through sports like baseball and tennis, L.E.A.D. provides young people with the tools they need to overcome the three curveballs that threaten their success—crime, poverty, and racism—and helps shape them into tomorrow’s leaders.

We’re also looking forward to celebrating our Georgia’s Own Day of Service. Together with Habitat for Humanity, we’ll be working with four local chapters to support future Georgia homeowners. Habitat for Humanity aims to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home, and we’re thrilled to support this wonderful cause.

Lastly, I want to highlight International Credit Union Day on October 16th. This year’s theme is “Cooperation for a Prosperous World.” Cooperation is a key component of our success, and with more than 82,000 credit unions and other cooperative financial institutions around the world, this movement continues to drive progress. We’re proud to be a part of this, helping to build prosperity and a promising future for more than 403 million members worldwide.

We appreciate your membership and thank you for being one of Georgia’s Own.

Sincerely,
Dave Preter
