planned  a year-long celebration filled with special events, promotions,
giveaways, and community-focused initiatives to honor  its  members  and
the dedication of its team; and
 
  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  this Legislative Body
acknowledges this exceptional business, its contributions to  the  local
and  State  economies,  and its vibrant role in improving the quality of
life in its community, fully confident that it will  continue  to  enjoy
the sparkling success it has experienced thus far; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 75th Anniversary of AmeriCU  Credit  Union;  and  be  it
further
