Every holiday season, Marshfield Lions Club sells beautiful poinsettias to fundraise for their organization. MMCCU uses this as an opportunity to help make the credit union more festive for the season!
“We are grateful to our MMCCU members who also serve in this club and are happy to support their fundraiser,” said David Murphy, MMCCU President. “Come see the beautiful poinsettias in red, pink, and white adorning our lobby and offices!”
