SELCO Staff Make Off-Day On-Day

EUGENE, Ore. - Although Monday, Oct. 8 was an off-day for many people as the country marked Columbus Day, it wasn't for the 250 employees of SELCO Credit Union here, who volunteered their time at more than 15 local agencies. In 2005 SELCO tried its first "All-Team Community Service Day," before reverting to a training day in 2006. Director of Community Involvement Jan Burch said employees made it very clear they wanted to do the Community Service Day again this year.

"They wanted their day together to have an impact outside of SELCO," Burch said.

SELCO's 2007 All-Team Day began in the morning at a local hotel, where SELCO staff gathered together to hear from CEO Bob Newcomb about 2008 corporate objectives and view the presentation of employee service awards.

Afterward, employees collected box lunches and deployed to a number of local social-service agencies for an afternoon of cleaning, sorting, assembling, digging, and hauling.
