Credit Union 1’s Dec.31 merger with Emory Alliance Credit Union expands its presence to the booming Atlanta market and grows their existing partnerships with prestigious universities across the country, such as Emory University and the Emory Healthcare Network, via the merger.

CHICAGO – December 2, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Credit Union 1 (CU1)—the Official Banking Partner of Notre Dame Athletics, with a national online presence and physical branches across Illinois, Indiana, and Nevada—recently announced both the year-end merger with Emory Alliance Credit Union (EACU) of Atlanta, GA, as well as first quarter 2023 acquisition of NorthSide Community Bank in northern Chicagoland, increasing asset size to $1.8 billion and an estimated 109,000 members by first quarter 2023. 

Credit Union 1’s merger with EACU, which marks the credit union’s entry into the southeast United States, will have Emory Alliance Credit Union keep its name and operate as a Division of Credit Union 1 to maximize the partnership with Emory University and Emory Health Care Network, the second largest employer in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. The acquisition of NorthSide Community Bank—with branches in Gurnee, Mundelein, Niles, and Riverwoods—continues to build out CU1’s presence in Illinois. 

“As Credit Union 1 turns 65, we are looking toward the future with a focus on thoughtful expansion, building a nationwide presence for our members while also retaining the local community feel and high level of service that our long-time members have come to expect from CU1,” says Todd Gunderson, President and CEO of Credit Union 1. “As we grow, we have prioritized partnering with organizations that share our vision and values, so that each merger is a true benefit to our new and existing members.” 

Credit Union 1’s top priority is the member experience, providing new members with an expanded array of products, highly competitive rates, a larger national footprint, and investment in local communities. In 2023, CU1 will donate more than $500,000 to benefit community members through partnerships with the Golic Family Foundation, University of Illinois Chicago, Western Illinois University, and more. CU1 also offers its members a modern, everyday banking experience thanks to its continued investment in technology, providing features like a highly rated mobile app, an easy-to-use digital banking platform, conveniences like CU1 Card Keeper, the opportunity for member service via LiveChat, and much more.

Ritani to Co-Host Holiday Gift Shop in East Village New York City

DUBLIN – December 2, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Nemysis Ltd today announces a…

Independently created, the project aims to forge new paths for individual creators and storytellers everywhere. AJO Members will get Token-Gated Access to exclusive content and test screenings, meet-and-greets with the cast and crew, merchandise, show voting rights, as well as many real world functions.

DETROIT – December 1, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Originally gathered for an animated spec-pilot, Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche, Ice-T, Tom Kenny, Grey DeLisle, Jim Cummings and over 20 other iconic industry voices join creator Ian Bensman on a journey into an Omniverse of new and uncharted storytelling potential. The project will give fans an active hand in the development of various show concepts from conception to completion in the hopes of placing them across potential networks and streaming platforms. The first of which is the aforementioned Spec-Pilot, an animated sketch comedy currently titled, “Avenging Justice”.

THE AVENGING JUSTICE OMNIVERSE is comprised of parody versions and satirical takes on your favorite cartoons, superheroes, comic books, and infamous Canadians. The environmentally conscious project hopes to be equal parts multi-media storytelling experience, comic con VIP pass, and charity drive. The first set of limited edition digital memberships, known as “AJ Variants” will be available upon launch at AJomniverse.com.

“Towards the end of development on the spec-pilot, I was introduced to the Web3. This of course led me to NFTs. My initial excitement was subdued after learning about a myriad of negative factors, such as environmental impact. What’s the point of creating fictional worlds if you’re destroying our very non-fictional one?” said creator Ian Bensman. “That in mind, we crafted The AJO to be something we could be proud to stand behind as well as something that we ourselves would want. I truly believe in the creative potential of web3 and its ability to open new avenues of storytelling and interactivity.”

Fans of the AJO’s legendary cast will be able to get their limited edition, digital, membership cards, unlocking unrivaled online and real world experiences. AVENGING JUSTICE OMNIVERSE members gain access to token-gated test screenings, focus groups, watch parties, entry to unique Discord channels, meet-and-greets with cast, exclusive AVENGING JUSTICE OMNIVERSE merchandise, as well as unique voting abilities. Only 10,000 “AJ Variant” memberships will be available at launch. The rest will release through various giveaways, contests, and dutch auctions that are timed to coincide with the progression of an overarching story in the AVENGING JUSTICE OMNIVERSE. Each “AJ Variant” will be randomly generated from a set of 40 characters, all with their own set of attributes, Omniversal Designations, and varying rarity.

The AJO’s first project, “Avenging Justice”, features the voices of Rob Paulsen (“Animaniacs”), Maurice LaMarche (“Futurama”), Eric Bauza (“Looney Tunes”), Steve Blum (“Cowboy Bebop”), Tom Kenny (“SpongeBob”), Ice- T (“Law & Order:SVU”), Vanessa Marshall, (“Star Wars: Rebels”), Carlos Alazraqui (“Reno 911”), Khary Payton (“Teen Titans GO!”), Jim Cummings (“Winnie the Pooh”), Jess Harnell (“Animaniacs”) and more! Currently in post production, creator Ian Bensman hopes to have fans in the AJO help craft the best possible show with the goal finding it a home to air.
