PASADENA, Calif. — The $3.6 billion Wescom Credit Union is taking its history and culture to heart in a big way by publishing an extraordinary 102-page anthology filled with photographs and memorabilia from the CU's 75-year history.
"It's a project that's taken us a year-and-a-half to complete but we feel it's meaningful in telling our story to the public," explained Joe Schaeffer, senior vice president of planning and development, who coordinated production of the booklet made available to members, civic leaders and legislators.
Wescom has produced 3,000 of the paper booklets at a cost of $75,000, a figure that included paying local archivists and historians to compile material dating back to the CU's founding in 1934 as a CU for Southern California telephone company employees.
