An unsuspecting member of the Grenada Public Service Credit Union turns out the winner of $60,000 (sixty Thousand dollars). Ironically, he got the news recently while going about his daily business in New York, amid the prevailing public discussion on the effects of a global economic slowdown.
Mr. Francis Jones who has been living in the US for over 20 years, automatically qualified last year by saving at least $1000 monthly during the PSCU's 2 year 60th Anniversary promotion. Members who introduced 6 approved members also qualified for the draw.
The soft spoken senior says hearing that he struck the bonanza was a welcome interruption for him in the big Apple:
"The call came somewhat out of the blue he said... but I am very happy to have won.."
General Manager of the Credit Union Mrs. Lucia Livingston-Andall extended congratulations by telephone to Mr. Jones on behalf of the organization. She also encourages other Grenadians save and invest in Grenada by becoming a members of the Grenada Public Service (Co-op) Credit Union Ltd. by purchasing Equity and Regular shares, as a means of saving money at competitive rates.
