Herndon, Va. (April 28, 2017) – On April 22, Northwest Federal welcomed members to its annual Member
Appreciation Day event as part of its year-long “70 Years of We” celebration. Despite the rainy weather, over
400 members attended, enjoying free food, carnival games, and more. Face painters, balloon artists and
caricature artists treated members to personalized souvenirs. A miniature train and a visit from Westie, the kids
club accounts' mascot, made the day fun for members of all ages.
Several of Northwest Federal’s Community Partners were on hand, including Arts Herndon, Friends of
Runnymede Park, League of Reston Artists, Loudoun Education Foundation, and Loudoun Wildlife
Conservancy. Members could also learn more about Northwest Capital Management (Northwest Federal’s
wholly-owned investment and insurance subsidiary), the NWFCU Foundation (the Credit Union’s philanthropic
arm), career opportunities available at the Credit Union and more. Special promotions included reduced rate
auto loans and a high-yield Celebration Certificate in honor of the Credit Union’s 70th anniversary.
“Member Appreciation Day events are our way of thanking our members who are the reason Northwest
Federal exists as a thriving organization,” said Acting President and CEO, Jeff Bentley. “This event is a great
opportunity to open our doors to the community, our members, our employees and their families to build upon
the relationships we have had for 70 years.”
