Credit Unions Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

One of these was the Rockford branch of the $313 million First Northern Credit Union in Chicago, which invited the Rockford Chamber of Commerce’s IGNITE members to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 15 and offered complimentary appetizers. IGNITE is a local group composed of young business professions in the Rockford area interested in getting connected, educated and involved in the community.
