- Every week, three A+FCU youth members will be randomly selected to win $50;
- I AM A+, a social media video series of employee interviews, will be shared weekly through December;
- Branch celebrations during the last week of May; and

A+FCU will also be hosting A+ Gives, a series of 70 different days with scheduled acts of kindness throughout the year to show appreciation for the communities around them. Themes range from volunteering at nonprofit organizations to donating food to helping veterans.
“We’re honored to have been a presence in Central Texas for the past 70 years,” A+FCU CEO Kerry A.S. Parker said. “We’re very excited to celebrate our 70th Anniversary with our members and the communities we serve by giving back in many different ways and sharing our story in 2019.”
