  1. It was truly an honor to be present at the moment Hubert Thibault of Desjardins spoke of this letter. Reading the actual letter now reminds me of that exact moment – where the past, present and future of credit unions connected.

    Congratulations to the Desjardins Group in Canada and the Filene Research Institute for your dedication to the vision of these two great men!

    Happy International Credit Union Day!

    We're annoyed by questions like this too, but we're even more annoyed by spam (except the yummy canned kind).
