United 1st Federal Credit Union is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week in a big way.  Each teacher in Camden, Charlton, Pierce, Dodge, Ware, Bleckley, Ben Hill, Wilcox, Wheeler, and Telfair Counties, even if they are not members of United 1st received a card from the credit union.  When the teacher takes the card to the closest Member Service Center they will receive a patriotic, ecologically-friendly shopping bag.

Pictured is Camden County Teacher of the Year Mark Lang, United 1st Youth Programs Coordinator Laura Koch, Camden County School Superintendent Dr. Will Hardin, Mamie Lou Gross student Ryan O’Steen and Mamie Lou Gross teacher Melinda Brown.  Laura also serves as the “head teller” for the Mamie Lou Gross Member Service Center where Ryan is one of four tellers.  Dr. Darlene Bruce is the principal of Mamie Lou Gross and Melinda Brown is the teacher liaison for the junior savers.
