Community 1st Credit Union employees volunteering on the Fairfield Loop Trail

More than 160 Community 1st Credit Union employees participated in several Columbus Day (October 12, 2015) community volunteer projects to coincide with International Credit Union Day.  All-day projects were completed in Fairfield, Chariton, Grinnell and Albia in a first-time, "Putting the Community 1st" event.

In Fairfield, Loop Trail foot bridge steel-railings were dismantled and prepared for industrial painting (scroll down to see photos).

Also, a Chautauqua Park shelter house was painted, and city parks were cleaned of trash and weeds.

In Chariton, there was a painting project at Lucas County Health Center.  And in Grinnell, city park playground areas and park trees were re-mulched.

C1st employees in Albia painted a concession stand building at the Monroe County Sports Complex, swept downtown alleys, stained a privacy fence at Lake Miami’s trap shooting range and picked up trash at Albia parks.
