Now, more than ever, it is important for credit unions to help elect officials who will defend our ability to serve our members. We again ask for your support, requesting that you donate an item at least $50 in value. Everybody’s a winner at the CUPAC Auction and Cocktail Reception. Each Convention, the silent auction is a huge success, thanks to the generosity of numerous credit unions and exhibitors and Convention attendees who bid on auction items.

Suggested items: gift baskets, theatre and arts tickets, tickets to sporting events, electronic equipment, hand-held organizers (PDAs), hotel or travel packages, gift certificates or sporting equipment.
