In 1955, the credit union was founded by our first treasurer - manager; Ethel McNeil. She asked ten town employees to deposit $5.00 each into a savings account. These dedicated members received no dividends in their weekly deposits for a long time. Mrs. McNeil took no salary for seven years - when she began to earn a much deserved income, it was $25.00 dollars a week. It could not happen today. Thus the credit union began with ten members and $50.00 in assets Today - we are an $26,000,000 million dollar institution with 2,745 members.
