Please be advised that on Monday April 13th, our Franklin office will be hosting a media event highlighting aggressive/distracted driving as well as the enforcement efforts local police will be carrying out during an upcoming campaign.

This event will start at 10am and should last about an hour. During this time, we are expecting a large number of people and parking may be limited. Additionally, there will be several police cruisers parked nearby; however, they will not be blocking member access to the Credit Union. This is a planned event, and we wanted to ensure members are aware that, while we will be open for business, members may want to consider stopping by before or after this event, as the parking lot will be quite busy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 814-432-4091.
