Wright Patman Chapter presents $5,500 check to local Circle of Friends Chapter

The Wright Patman Chapter of Credit Unions recently held its annual fun night and cake auction on June 20. This event included a welcome from Chapter President Kelly Turner, branch manager at Mil-Way Federal Credit Union, and a check presentation.

Representatives from the Red River Credit Union show off their Statue of Liberty bowling pin trophy for earning the best score.

After years of holding an annual golf tournament, the chapter decided to change things up and hosted a “Bowl A Thon” in May with the theme “Red, White and Bowl.” Most of the chapter credit unions participated and a good time was had by all. Prizes were awarded for the best score, best decorated/best dressed, and most spirit. Decorated bowling pin trophies were the coveted prizes. 

A check was presented to the local Circle of Friends Chapter, which is a fundraising chapter that gives 100% of their funds to Arkansas Children’s. The Wright Patman Chapter teamed up with Circle of Friends to help make a larger impact on the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital that serves the local community. A check for the Bowl A Thon’s donation was presented, totaling $5,500.

Mil-Way Federal Credit Union staffers model their British invasion costumes and proudly display their U.S. flag bowling pin trophy.

Texar Federal Credit Union employees show that they’ve got spirit, winning the starred bowling trophy.
