LANSING, Mich. — Closing on a LAFCU mortgage was lucky for Dave and Shay Cooper, of Stanton, and Octavia Zurhorst, of Grand Ledge, in more than the traditional way.

In addition to securing the loan itself, the holders of each mortgage won a $1,200 travel voucher through a contest by the Michigan credit union. Anyone who closed on a LAFCU mortgage in 2021 was eligible to win.

“We ran the contest to call attention to the benefits of a LAFCU mortgage loan and of being a LAFCU member,” said Kelli Ellsworth Etchison, LAFCU chief marketing officer and chief diversity officer. “As a credit union, LAFCU is a not-for-profit cooperative, owned by our members. They directly benefit from that ownership through lower interest rates on loans and credit cards, higher rates of return on deposits and reduced fees.”
