advancement, uniting people who are seeking a way to improve

their future; and

sharing the same commitment to serving credit union members; and

promote the charitable acts of their members; and

through credit unions have benefited many worthwhile causes

throughout this Commonwealth and beyond; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate the

Pennsylvania; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to
