MCU Sponsors Celebrate Literacy Day

 Metro Credit Union (MCU), Massachusetts’ largest state-chartered credit union, is pleased to present Celebrate Literacy Day taking place on Thursday, March 18 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. (EST). In its 10th year, Celebrate Literacy Day was founded to create awareness about literacy and education while also highlighting the important work of grassroot nonprofit organizations and community leaders in Lynn, MA.
