Cros-Lex students paint murals for E&A scholarship contest
Members in the Croswell area might notice something a little different the next time they visit E&A Credit Union. Last spring, seven Cros-Lex High School art students were selected to participate in a mural-painting contest sponsored by E&A. Each student worked diligently during the fall months to create artwork featuring one of the many benefits of membership at E&A Credit Union.
The murals were installed on the outside of our Croswell location in early January. Members and the general public are invited to vote for their favorite mural inside the Croswell branch office. Once the voting period is over, the top two students will each receive a $500 college scholarship!
“We are very excited to tap into these students’ amazing talents and give back to the community!”
-Janice Rose, President & CEO of E&A Credit Union.
The murals depict products and services such as savings, checking, loans, drive-thru banking and online banking.
A special "Thank You!" to the following students:
- Andrew Jorde
- Charlee Hennick
- Gino Fracassa
- Katie O’Keefe
- Megan Valore
- Nathan Cornwell
- Trisha Gaw
The voting period has ended. Thanks to all who visited our Croswell branch to cast their votes. Stay tuned for the announcement of the winners!!!
