As the Eagles Ice Arena in Spokane celebrates its 50th anniversary, Avista is helping make sure the community ice rink stays around for another 50 years with energy-saving upgrades 💡 Support from Avista’s Commercial Lighting Rebate Program and Named Communities Investment Fund (NCIF) made it possible for the arena to install new LED lights inside and outside the building. The savings are significant. Not only did Avista’s programs cover nearly the entire project cost, but the upgrades will also lead to about $6,000 a year in savings on their energy bill. This means the ice arena can use the money they save to improve other parts of the nonprofit. Plus, LEDs last several years longer than the old fluorescent bulbs they replaced, requiring less maintenance. The lighting upgrade is just one part of the Eagles Ice Arena renovations.

I LOVE the fact that it is a group of 100% volunteers that saw the need to get this up and running. The Louise Herring Fund truly does represent what the credit union movement embodied when she started those 500 credit unions. It wasn't about maximizing profit, it was ensuring that individuals who needed financial inclusion the most had an option that would embrace the characteristics that were important to people of low to modest means. These 60+ de novo applications sitting at NCUA waiting to be approved are there because the founding group felt a sense of needing financial inclusion and empowerment, apparently something they felt they weren't receiving in their own communities with existing the financial institutions. Denise Wymore, GSD and her band of volunteers have been gifting many hours of their own time and dollars out of their own pockets to bring a solution to the movement. Contact the CU De Novo Collective board members or go to the website. As a movement, let's show these 63 credit unions in process right now that WE support them and the communities they are so passionately trying to serve. Our industry provides the Louise Herring award annually, recognizing credit unions that do an extraordinary job incorporating credit union philosophy into daily operations. Why don't we all challenge ourselves to carry even a small bit of Louise in our walk as credit union ambassadors. Support this NONPROFIT to pay it forward for other credit unions to serve their purpose. Remember, your credit union started small at some point in time? How many of you would still be here today had it not been for the support of volunteers and their donation of time and money?

Former TFR/John Lewis flooring staff appeal for crowd-funding help A group of former John Lewis & Partners and the floor room employees have set up a crowd-funding appeal to raise money to compensate for missing redundancy payments and pay legal fees. The dozen former employees say they lost £135,000 of redundancy payments ‘we had rightfully earned’ following the collapse of The Floor Room, which operated John Lewis’ flooring concessions. ‘This financial loss has been devastating for many of us, especially those who had built their lives and families around the stability of their long-term employment. Some of us gave decades to John Lewis, and now we’re facing a bleak future without the security we were counting on. ‘We are seeking your support to help us cover the financial shortfall we’ve been left with due to this injustice. Your donations will be used to: support those who have lost significant redundancy payments; cover legal and administrative fees as we explore options to challenge this situation and provide financial relief for those who are struggling due to the sudden loss of income and savings they had counted on. ‘Any amount you can contribute would make a huge difference in helping us rebuild after this ordeal. We never imagined that after decades of loyalty and hard work, we would be left in such a vulnerable position. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to stand with us during this difficult time is something we will never forget.’ The Gofundme page is titled ‘Ex John Lewis Partners injustice.’ https://lnkd.in/eeKPpkfH #flooring #flooringindustry
