Credit Union ONE celebrates youth month with financial literacy



(LtoR) Andrea Pertile, Judi Desilets, (both from Credit Union ONE),
and Ashley Lehman, Ferndale Area District Library
Ferndale, Michigan - April is National Credit Union Youth Month, and Credit Union ONE welcomed the opportunity to educate the youth in the Ferndale community and all of their branch locations about the importance of saving money beginning at an early age.
 
Recently, the credit union partnered with the Ferndale Area District Library and hosted two youth events for local children. 
On April 13th, little ones were in awe as Credit Union ONE story tellers Andrea Pertile and Judi Desilets read books to them about what money is, what it is used for and how to save it.  The children got to sing songs, make a piggy bank, and even took home a coin saver booklet to get them started.
Telling a story, or playing The Price Is Right, it's all a learning
experience.
 

Ferndale Area District Library's own version of “The Price Is Right” was held at the library on April 15th.  Children were invited to ‘Come on Down’ to show what they knew about money by playing pricing games and winning prizes.
 
Throughout the month of April, Youth Month Celebrations have been going on at all Credit Union ONE branches, with giveaways for children, as well as educational materials for parents.
 
"We were very happy to partner with the Ferndale Area District Library to bring these events to local children," said Neetu Singh, Credit Union ONE Vice President of Marketing.  "The Youth Month activities that we were able to bring to our branches and the community were very rewarding.  We were able to engage with many young people and share with them the value of saving money."
 

 Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy-five years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 30,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 120,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.

Ferndale, Michigan – Throughout the year, Credit Union ONE engages in various activities that support our members and the communities in which they live and work. 
 
One such project that the credit union chose to support in 2014/2015 was the NO TXT ZONE, a campaign to help make our roads safer by educating and encouraging individuals not to text and drive.
 
The campaign, published by UpNorthLive.com and channels WGTQ/WGTY-TV in Traverse City was sponsored by community partners Credit Union ONE and Williams Chevrolet.
 
Much time and effort from the news stations and both community partners was put into the program; from high school presentations, news stories, and commercials, to sign-up events where individuals took a pledge not to text and drive.
 
For their success with the campaign, on March 11, 2015, the Michigan Association of Broadcasting (MAB) Broadcast Excellence Awards presented WGTQ/WGTU-TV with the highly coveted Merit Award for Community Involvement.
 
"Typically we are about providing credit and a safe place to save, however credit unions at their core are about people helping people," said Neetu Singh, Credit Union ONE Vice President of Marketing.Credit Union ONE is proud to be part of such a meaningful program that is making a difference in the lives of the community.”
