Update: Orange County's Credit Union Mother's Day Sweepstakes Winners!

Dear OCEA member,

This weekend is Mother’s Day. Many OCEA members are mothers – working women who juggle responsibilities serving our community at work while raising children at home. The pandemic adversely affected working families but presented significant and unique challenges for working mothers.

OCEA members want to show their appreciation to the mothers in their lives. This year, OCEA partnered with Orange County’s Credit Union to offer a Mother’s Day gift to our members and four lucky ones received a $75 gift card to 1800flower.com! The beautiful arrangement pictured above was won by Costa Mesa Fire and Rescue’s Brenda Emrick. Brenda’s mom has not been feeling well so the flowers were a warm and welcome surprise.

Congratulations to the other winners of Orange County's Credit Union Mother's Day Sweepstakes:

• Krishna Bosam, CEO’s Office
• Lorena Popoca, HCA
• Julie Hobberlin, HCA

I want to thank Orange County’s Credit Union for thinking of OCEA members and for recognizing the importance of celebrating life moments during these challenging times. Orange County’s Credit Union’s generosity and support demonstrate their regard for our Union and show that we are part of, and stand together with, the wider community.

On behalf of OCEA and Orange County’s Credit Union, we want to say “thank you” to the mothers in our lives who have sacrificed and loved unconditionally. Our thoughts are also with those whose mothers have passed on but whose love lives on through cherished memories.

One thing we all know to be true about mothers – they can do the impossible. They deserve respect, equal pay, and equal opportunity. OCEA is committed to achieving those goals for our mothers, ourselves, and our children.

Thank you, and enjoy a wonderful Mother’s Day!

In Solidarity,

The Orange County Employees Association
