Corry Jamestown CU Co-Hosts Fraud BINGO 

Corry, PA — On March 8, Corry Jamestown Credit Union (CJCU) was able to co-host Fraud BINGO. This was a fun, interactive learning session that David Aitken from AARP presented. CJCU members and guests along with residents of Parkside at Corry, a local retirement home, attended the event.   

CJCU advertised this program in the newspaper, their lobby, online, and at Parkside. CJCU provided donuts. Parkside at Corry hosted the event in one of their meeting rooms and provided the coffee.  

Aitken called BINGO and presented the program in an easy and understandable way. Anyone who got a match had to read the writing that was on the block. Aitken expounded on the topic to create an informational, yet fun way to learn about fraud.  

No cash was involved, but there were prizes to be won. This was offered at no cost and open to the public. The program was so successful that the credit union is planning to do this again in the fall. At CJCU, they believe the old saying, “With knowledge comes power,” and this was a great opportunity to reach out to the community.
