Credit Union League helps Honor Flight

GLADSTONE — The U.P. Chapter of Michigan Credit Union League held its annual charity golf outing on Thursday, Aug. 23, at the Terrace Bluff Country Club in Gladstone. There were 119 representatives from the Upper Peninsula area credit unions including corporate sponsors of the event. It is with their assistance the group was able to raise $7,500 to benefit the Upper Peninsula Honor Flight.

“The 12th annual charity event was successful in raising $7,500 for the Honor Flight Organization. The golf committee decided to financially support the Honor Flight Organization again this year because of their steadfast commitment and service to our U.P. veterans. Furthermore, the committee decided to make Honor Flight their primary charitable organization for all future charity golf events. In accepting the donation, Knauf stated, “This type of financial support is amazing and will definitely help fund future missions. The Upper Peninsula Honor Flight is our way of paying a small tribute to those who gave so much — a memorable, safe, and rewarding tour of honor,” said Rick Gatiss, Upper Michigan Community Credit Union.

Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. Veterans are taken to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans — World War II and Korean survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.
