Mississippi CUs say 'thank you' for Katrina recovery efforts
JACKSON, Miss. (8/30/07)--On the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi credit unions are thanking contributors to disaster relief and reminding the credit union community of the importance of continued support.
To highlight the impact of the support, Mississippi credit unions have created a nine-minute "thank you" video that is available on YouTube.
"With the recent earthquake in Peru as well as Hurricane Dean, we are reminded that credit union support makes a tremendous difference in the lives of those affected," said Charles Elliott, Mississippi Credit Union Association President/CEO. "While we wish we could thank everyone personally, the People Helping People video should convey our sincere gratitude for the thoughts, prayers and overwhelming generosity from our extended credit union family during our greatest hour of need.
"The employees in the video share the difference you made in their lives," he continued. "Their words will make you proud to be a part of America's Credit Unions and will add more meaning to the phrase...where people are worth more than money."
