Financial Fitness
This program offers special account benefits for our members age
11-15 who attend one free Financial Fitness educational event held in
the evening from 6:00pm - 8:30pm. The Financial Fitness event is offered semi-annually in
January and June and is held at our new Jackson Road facility. The
specific date will be determined approximately 2 months prior to each
event and invitations will then be sent out to all young people in that
age category who have not yet attended the event.
The
Financial Fitness event combines fun and education by featuring a pizza
dinner, ice-breaker games, prize drawings, and several short educational
sessions on saving money, earning money, and spending it wisely. Benefits for those who attend include:
