BEATING THEIR BEST – Employees of Diamond Credit Union, headquartered on Medical Drive in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township, gathered recently to celebrate because their fund-raising efforts during 2011 on behalf of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life collected $71,777, about $6,000 more than their previous record set in 2009, the credit union announced Wednesday (Nov. 2, 2011).

Its efforts took many forms during the year, the credit union reported, including a Bark For Life event for pets and their owners, an annual golf outing, a bingo event, beef and beer, shredding event, chicken barbecue, and several hot dog and bake sales.
