An Out of This World Experience


April 8 was no ordinary Monday—especially here in Maine. Thousands of people from across the country visited some of the most rural areas of our state to catch the Total Solar Eclipse. Even if you weren’t in the direct path of totality, the event was one for the record books.

Credit unions made sure to get the most out of the experience, too. Many took to social media to share how their teams were commemorating the special day. A snapshot of some of the fun that was shared online is below.
