a great time for a worthy cause,” said David Dupéré, chairman of the Association’s Social Responsibility Committee and executive vice president and COO of Wave Federal Credit Union. The tournament trophy was captured by one of three teams from Greenwood Credit Union. The team members included James Irving, Joslyn Clemm, Cassie Novicky, and William Thibodeau with an impressive combined score of 1,407. This is the third victory for Greenwood Credit Union. Navigant Credit Union’s team of Gary Furtado, Randy Sacilotto, Mike Tartaglia, and Jason Pise placed second with a score of 1,212. Pawtucket Credit Union’s team of Russ Duclos, Erik Malaguti, Gary Genest, and Annette Smith took third with 1,184. Just as important a win is the intense competition to see which team raises the largest amount of money for the event. Rhode Island Credit Union’s team of Nancy Zeppa, Gina DePalo, Terry Benson, and Adam Levine raised $1,150. The evening was an even greater success with the numerous raffle prizes donated by many credit unions. The committee extends its heartfelt thanks to Special Olympics Rhode Island for their donations, as well as to the credit unions for their overwhelming participation and support of this event. The true gold winners of the evening were the athletes who participated from Special Olympics Rhode Island, known as the Cranston Raiders. In total, more than $11,200 was raised. The Association’s Social Responsibility Committee extends its heartfelt thanks to all the bowlers for working hard to raise money for this event. The fundraiser provided the opportunity to bring the credit union community together in an activity that featured some spirited competition, but provided the opportunity for all, regardless of bowling ability, to have a good time. As stated by Dupéré, “We are grateful for the generous support and effort made by the credit unions and their teams who participated in this event. It would be very difficult to reach our goal of $60,000 without their support.” • spring.2012 | centerpoint | 9
