Neenah credit union changes name to Linden Credit Union

NEENAH – Badger Globe Credit Union has changed its name to Linden Credit Union as the Neenah-based financial cooperative serves a broader membership across seven Wisconsin counties. The change follows a 2025 expansion that made anyone who lives, works or attends school in Calumet, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Outagamie, Waupaca, Waushara or Winnebago County eligible to join, according to a community announcement. The credit union traces its history to 1947, when nine Badger Globe mill workers pooled $9 to create a financial cooperative for employees and their families. Its former name reflected the group the credit union was established to serve. As eligibility expanded beyond those roots, the Badger Globe name no longer clearly described who could become a member, according to the announcement. “Badger Globe will always be an important part of our story,” said Annie Hutter, president and CEO of Linden Credit Union. “But as our credit union has grown, we needed a name that made it clear more people could belong here. Linden allows us to welcome new members and communities while holding onto what has mattered from the beginning: people helping people.” Why the credit union chose Linden The name is inspired by the American

7 St. Martin's Day Dishes German and Dutch Families Cooked in the Midwest

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. November 11 was St. Martin's Day, Martinmas on the old calendars, and in parts of the German-speaking world, the Rhineland above all, it meant a lantern walk at dusk. Children carried paper lanterns with a candle inside, sang the Martin songs, and often followed a rider in a red cloak playing the saint who cut his own coat in half for a freezing beggar. German immigrants to Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan brought the day's food with them, and German clubs and schools in the Midwest still hold lantern walks today. The harvest was in, the first hard frost had come and gone, and the supper waiting at home afterward was the last big feast before Advent.
