The Big Lake Chamber last week voted Minnco Credit Union as their member of the year for 2022.

Minnco joined the Big Lake Chamber in May of 2020 after locating to Big Lake along Rose Drive, just off Hwy. 10. Branch Manager Yvonne Olderbak (formerly Blum) was elected to the board for a new, three-year term beginning in Jan 2022.

Olderbak volunteers with the Holiday Social Committee and the Golf Scramble Committee and one of her team members is always on the Block Party Committee. Prior to Minnco, Olderbak worked at Home Town Credit Union in Owatonna for 22 years.

“Yvonne is such a giving person, always stepping up to forward the activities of the chamber,” said the member who nominated Minnco. “She is also a board director and sits on committees to plan and carry out events. Yvonne also volunteers to make sure Music in the Park is successful.”

Minnco has sponsored a team at the chamber’s annual golf scramble and has sponsored the Community Fair, Block Party and Christmas Trees. Minnco is the first member to sponsor a full-page ad in the chamber’s newsletter for the entire year and they also sponsor their website, which is limited to one business/industry type.

The Minnco team has sponsored and volunteered with the City of Big Lake’s Music in the Park and their Summer Farmers Market for the last couple of years.
