On October 16th, Interior Savings will be closing early to enable all 500 department, branch and insurance service employees the opportunity to go out into the community and make a difference.
“Our benchmark for success is whether we’ve made a positive difference in the lives of our members and in our communities,” states Kathy Conway, Interior Savings President and CEO. “To celebrate our commitment to community, on October 16th we’re closing all departments, credit union and insurance branches at 2 p.m. to allow our employees to volunteer in their community. It’s an opportunity for us to lend a hand to all of those community organizations who work tirelessly for the benefit of others; we’ve coined this our Day of Difference.”
The Interior Savings team in Okanagan Falls will be supporting and assisting the Okanagan Falls Heritage Museum Society; in Oliver the team will be working with the Okanagan Gleaners Society; and the team in Osoyoos will be helping the Pioneer Walkway.
October 16th marks International Credit Union Day and Interior Savings is joining credit unions across the globe to celebrate. This year, Interior Savings is inviting members to join them in branch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for refreshments and to receive a small gift as a token of their appreciation. “September marked Interior Savings 75th anniversary,” comments Conway. “In 1939, with $96.50 in deposits and 20 members, our credit union was founded on the notion of people helping people; neighbours working together to help each other and to improve their communities. We still believe in this today and it is why it’s important for our teams to go out into their communities as we celebrate the credit union movement’s history and honour those who have dedicated their lives to this movement.”
