                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELVIN L. WATT

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 15, 2011

  Mr. WATT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a credit union 
located in my Congressional District, First Legacy Community Credit 
Union, on 70 years of service to its members. First Legacy, originally 
named School Workers Federal Credit Union, was founded in Charlotte, 
North Carolina, on February 14, 1941, by a group of educators in the 
Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System. At its beginning, First Legacy 
offered a simple savings and loan program; today, it offers a broad 
range of financial services to its members. First Legacy Community 
Credit Union's continued dedication to serving the community, as well 
as efforts to increase financial literacy in North Carolina, is worthy 
of special recognition. I commend the work that First Legacy Community 
Credit Union continues to do and wish this outstanding community credit 
union another 70 years of success.
