Pacific Service Credit Union Bowls Strikes for Charity Vacaville, Calif., December 31, 2007 – On Friday, December 21, employees and friends of Pacific Service Credit Union joined others for the 5th annual Bowling for Children’s Charities event held at Stars Recreation Center in Vacaville.

By working together we all contribute to the success of this program and we have a bit of fun, too.”
