The Smart Youth Power Assembly ~ Norbert Georget

Motor City Community Credit Union proudly sponsorsed & brought back The Smart Youth Power Assembly, presented by the fabulous & talented Norbert Georget to Walkerville High School for a second time! This powerful 60 minute presentation on teenage drinking & driving, substance abuse, and peer pressure touched the students & left them with a positive & influential message. Norbert's own experiential viewpoints, interwoven with social observations, trends, and the young people he has counseled, have been compared to classic textbook material. Norbert adds a delivery style that is unmatched on the high school assembly circuit. When a young man like Norbert Georget speaks, students listen.

We look forward to bringing Norbert back to our community many times over in the future. If you would like Norbert to come to your school or have feedback &/or suggestions, contact your local MCCCU branch or contact Norbert personally at http://www.norbertgeorget.com/

Locks for Logan

The "Locks for Logan" Fundraising Campaign was a great success! This wonderful & heartfelt operation was in support of a 5 year old Windsor boy named Logan Moore, who suffers from a rare form of Leukemia and is currently undergoing treatment.

Jay Cannon had been growing his hair for 2 years in support of the Cancer Cause. On April 29th, 2008... it was time for it to go! Donations of any sort were being provided to support the event and cause, and ultimately, young Logan. In the end, a total of $27,000 were raised with this event, with $6450.00 of that funding coming from the members, staff, family & friends of Motor City Community Credit Union. We thank you for you continued support and efforts. Together, Windsor & Essex County continue to stand strong and fight for eachother & our cause.
