The AIME Awards rec- ognize outstanding mar- keting achievements within the credit union industry over the past year. This year 161 entries were received in 14 categories. Libro won an award in the $3,000 Shoestring Award category for its entry, 2013 Farms to Food Banks Program. Started by the former United Communities Credit Union, the pro- gram connects locally grown food from farmers to local food banks across southwestern Ontario. In 2013, United Communities purchased a total of $25,000 worth of meat, potatoes, apples, milk, eggs, and honey from farmers and collab- orated with them to dis- tribute the goods to area food banks. United Com- munities merged with Libro Financial Group in January, forming Libro Credit Union. "We're deeply hum- bled to receive this hon- our," said Liz Arkinstall, Community Engagement Manager at Libro Credit Union. "Supporting our local communities is one of the ways we are help- ing build prosperity in southwestern Ontario. The Farms to Food banks program was created by staff and the Board, and has assisted thousands of people in need. The awareness raised by this program has helped highlight the issue of hunger that so many face in our region." MACU was started in 1988 by credit union marketers and suppliers who joined together to exchange ideas, build relationships with their peers and foster profes- sional development for credit union marketers across the country. Two new players announced for the Raise A Little Health charity hockey game Special to the News Record Last week it was announced that the Hometown Heroes "Raise a Little Health" charity hockey game will be taking place on July 24 in Goderich at the Mait- land Recreation Centre. The goal is to raise $50,000 for three local organizations; the Goderich-Huron YMCA's Strong Kids; Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health; and Alex- andra Marine & General Hospital. The game will feature former and current NHL stars, including former Detroit Red Wings For- ward and Stanley Cup Champion, Boyd Devereaux; current Colo- rado Avalanche Forward Ryan O'Reilly; and his younger brother Cal O'Reilly, who currently plays for the Utica Com- ets in the AHL. The organizers of Hometown Heroes are happy to announce that Brett Maclean, former Phoenix Coyote Forward, will be joining the roster. In the summer of 2012, Brett suffered cardiac arrest while playing some pick-up hockey with friends in Owen Sound. The arena was equipped with an auto- mated external defibril- lator and this was used to shock his heart until par- amedics arrived on the scene. This ultimately ended his career as a professional hockey player, but it did not end his passion for the sport. "I'm excited to be tak- ing part in this cause, and as always, pretty pumped to get out there on the ice," said Brett. For the past three years, Brett has worked together with friends as well as the Heart and Stroke Foundation to set up the Bar Down for Heart and Stroke Road Hockey Tournament. This year's tournament is taking place June 13t to 15 at the Racquetball Club in Port Elgin. For more information please contact Adam Rosner at 519-389-1504, or email him at: adamrosner@ hotmail.com. "We are delighted to have Brett joining the team, and we look for- ward to 'raising a little health' with him and many others this July!" said Member of Parlia- ment for Huron -Bruce, Ben Lobb. You can purchase tick- ets for the Hometown Heroes charity hockey game at M.P. Ben Lobb's offices in Goderich and Port Elgin. Tickets are also available at the Gateway Centre in Seaforth, the Alexandra Marine & Gen- eral Hospital Gift Shop, and the Goderich-Huron YMCA.
