Service Credit Union Air Museum Receives $3,000 Donation

Service Credit Union and the Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America officials presented a $3,000 contribution recently to America's Credit Union Museum Executive Director Peggy Powell.

The donation was part of the proceeds from the 2012 Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show featuring the United States Navy Blue Angels.
Proceeds from the air show also helped support two organizations, Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire and the Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America, as well as a multitude of other New Hampshire nonprofit organizations including Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Service Credit Union Vice President of Marketing Karen Benedetti and Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America Marketing and Public Relations Director Greg Osborn presented the check to Powell.

"I am very thankful for this generous donation from the 2012 Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show," says Powell. "Like the Boys Scouts and the Brain Injury Association, the museum is a non-profit organization. These contributions go a long way in preserving our history and preparing for future activities."

America's Credit Union Museum is located in Manchester, New Hampshire, on the site of the first credit union founded in the United States. The museum is housed at the original location for St. Mary's Cooperative Credit Association. The museum pays tribute to the importance of the credit union movement in the past, present and future. Currently the museum is open three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There is no charge for admission.
