The ceremony also marked the institution’s 65th Anniversary.  TSAFCU was formerly known as the Hoosick Federal Credit Union, but changed its name when it expanded its coverage area to include all of Bennington County, Vermont, as well as northern Berkshire County in Massachusetts and northern Rensselaer County.
