GLEMDORA, CA (June 3, 2014) -- In the first-ever Patriot Week hosted by America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) and Project Glendora Yellow Ribbon, held May 27-30, the Glendora community and its surrounding cities joined together to celebrate Patriots past, future, and present. The week included crafts, displays, and contests in the ACCU Glendora Branch, an Opening Ceremony, a Veterans Resource Fair, and a final celebration aptly named “Passing on the Torch.”
ACCU and the Yellow Ribbon Committee were joined by more than 10 other community groups and individuals throughout the week to help express the continued support and gratitude the community has for those currently serving. Over $3,600 in gifts were donated from local businesses for the Veterans, First Responders & Their Families gift drawing.
In an effort to restore many of the Project Glendora Yellow Ribbon banners that were damaged due to recent storms, America’s Christian Credit Union donated $1,000 to the group in a check presentation during the closing ceremony as part of their commitment to donate $10 for every new account opened during Patriot Week.
In response to the week’s events Mendell L. Thompson, President and CEO, concluded, “There is no better way to spend time than in thanks to those who serve and protect our country every day. This week was a gesture of gratitude and support to the military and first responder community from their local community and we hope to continue this tradition for years to come.”
