DakCU Offices Closed Monday, October 11
Dakota Credit Union Association (DakCU) offices will be closed on Monday, October 11th in observation of Columbus Day and Native American Day. Columbus Day is a national holiday which officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in and the discovery of the American Continent on October 12, 1492. Not all states or regions follow this observance, and instead, they celebrate other events on the day. South Dakota's official holiday on this date is Native American Day, which celebrates the cultures and contributions of the many Native American tribes. DakCU Awards Page Updated!
