60th Anniversary of American Southwest Credit Union & Spotlight Business of the Month!

American Southwest Credit Union celebrated their 60th Anniversary of being in business Friday, April 10th. Congradulations to them! There was free hotdogs and sodas sponsored by Wild Dogs, free popcorn, raffle prizes, and a ribbon cutting. They are also the Chamber's Spotlight Business of the Month. With their continued service to the local area, for so many years, the Chamber felt like we should make them the Spotlight Business and have it coincide with their anniversary. If you haven't seen what the Credit Union offers their customers, then pop on by 654 E. 7th Street (on the corner of 7th and Hwy 80) and talk to Manager Erin Brown!
