Coosa Valley Credit Union turns annual meeting into celebration

Media release: Coosa Valley Credit Union held its 58th annual meeting Saturday night at The Forum. The meeting is required by the National Credit Union Administration and Coosa Valley's charter to inform members about the current financial state of their Credit Union, notify them of any Board of Directors changes if needed and give a review of the past years activities.

Coosa Valley Credit Union takes it a little farther than most credit unions by also making it a free membership appreciation night with dinner, entertainment and door prizes.

Said Robert Smyth, Marketing Manager for the credit union: "Coosa Valley is one of a handful of Credit Unions across the nation that has an annual meeting of this magnitude. This year, we entertained around 600 members with a South of the Border theme. We enjoyed authentic Hispanic food and wonderful Texas Swing music with John England and the Western Swingers from Nashville. Dinner and décor were provided by the Catering Co. at the Palladium and Coosa Valley donated $1,500.00 in the name of the membership to the local United Way." Next year's meeting is set for Feb. 16 at  The Forum.
