GALAXY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to
congratulate and celebrate a local business in my district. The Galaxy
Federal Credit Union in Franklin, Pennsylvania, is celebrating its 80th
anniversary.
The credit union was founded in 1940 by a dozen employees of Joy
Manufacturing. For four decades, the credit union operated out of the
Joy Manufacturing Factory, serving employees by helping them save and
establish credit.
In 1981, the credit union opened its doors to other local companies
in Venango County. In 2002, it became a community credit union.
The employees of Galaxy Federal Credit Union pride themselves on a
``people helping people'' approach to business.
Today, Galaxy Federal Credit Union serves nearly 5,000 members,
including 400 youth members.
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank Linda Lusher Antonucci, as well
as the employees, members, and volunteers who serve the residents of
Venango County through the credit union.
Congratulations on 80 years.
