The Ohio Credit Union Foundation invites credit unions, Leagues, and partner organizations from across the nation to join in the excitement of celebrating the inaugural Louise McCarren Herring Birthday Bash, Monday, Sept. 20, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. EST.

To help celebrate, The Ohio Credit Union Foundation will be offering “party in a box” packages to accommodate a party of one (the social) to a party of sixty (the blowout).

On what would have been Louise’s 112th birthday, we want to keep her legacy and passion for equal and fair access to quality financial services alive. We invite everyone to join us virtually to celebrate her remarkable achievements in the Ohio Credit Union Movement. The funds raised for the event will continue the credit union philosophy of People Helping People through Foundation grants and scholarships.

Order your birthday party in a box today filled with decorations, birthday treats, games, and a Zoom link to join other credit unions for a special program with trivia and a toast to Louise. A very special “thank you” to American Shared Insurance, ASI, which Louise helped to create, for their generous sponsorship of this epic event.
