ORNL FCU 75 Years

To commemorate seventy years of service, the credit union recognized seven nonprofit organizations and their important work in the community with $10,000 grants through a Community Giveback and Investment campaign.

Other seventieth anniversary celebrations included the inaugural Summer Sessions concert series at A. K. Bissell Park in Oak Ridge, featuring Americana/bluegrass bands from across the region. The concerts were free to attend and open to the public. A substantial donation was made to the Freedom Bell in Oak Ridge, and the credit union partnered with WDVX to create the Secret City Radio Show. A member appreciation day was also held at all branches. That year saw the credit union’s first Community Art and Mural Program, which provided local students the opportunity to showcase their talents on a large structure at the Oak Ridge headquarters.
