SR-92, As Adopted by Senate, October 8, 2013

            Senator Nofs offered the following resolution:

            Senate Resolution No. 92.

            A resolution to declare October 14-18, 2013, as Credit Union Week in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, Credit unions have been organized in Michigan since 1934, and they have a proud tradition of innovation and leadership among the nation’s credit unions. The Michigan credit union movement has a proven record of growth, progress, and success; and

            Whereas, Michigan credit unions are rooted in the communities in which they serve, whether supporting local charities, offering financial education seminars, or operating student-run credit union branches in schools. They do this voluntarily because, as not-for-profit member-owned financial cooperatives, credit unions recognize that social responsibility is an integral part of their mission; and

            Whereas, Credit unions in Michigan have demonstrated their ability to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities for generations by following the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People”; and

            Whereas, Michigan credit unions remain informed through the assistance of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, which has focused exclusively on serving its members throughout its history. It is a commitment that is concisely expressed in its mission statement: The Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates will help credit unions serve their members, grow their market presence and strengthen their financial condition; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body hereby declare October 14-18, 2013, as Credit Union Week in the state of Michigan. We honor Michigan credit unions as they celebrate Credit Union Week.
