SOMERVILLE, Mass.– Naveo Credit Union continued its 90th Anniversary celebration by hosting a member appreciation summer BBQ at its Somerville branch. The event was well attended by more than 150 members, neighbors, community partners, directors and employees.
Naveo’s Summer BBQ was a casual, celebratory even to thank Naveo members and neighbors for choosing Naveo as their community financial institution and their support over the last 90 years, the credit union said.
The event featured an assortment of food options, including hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, grilled chicken and even linguica sandwiches, prepared by John Ramos Catering.
Naveo said it made sure to include a few fun options for kids, including a bounce house, temporary tattoos, Italian ice and yard games. Those in attendance also had the opportunity to spin a prize wheel for a trinket or a Naveo t-shirt.
Naveo employees and directors were very much a part of the event, greeting guests, serving food and drinks, and chatting with those new to the neighborhood. The BBQ concluded with three lucky winners taking home a TV, FitBit and an Amazon Alexa, respectively.
“Our BBQ was a terrific opportunity for all us at Naveo to show how much we appreciate our member/owners. I attribute our success to their loyalty and trust over the past 90 years,” said CEO commented Rui F. Domingos. “Without them, Naveo would not exist. I truly enjoyed chatting with members and hearing about their stories on how the CU has impacted their lives. In addition, I enjoyed meeting our neighbors and business owners and learn about their needs and success stories. I want to thank my incredible staff for their dedication in coordinating this event and for making all the attendees feel welcomed. Since the event was such a success, we are considering making it an annual member appreciation event to thank our members for their continuous support.”
