Ferndale,
Michigan – Two Credit Union ONE representatives spent part of a busy afternoon
with about 25 students, as part of a “bring your child to work day” at St
Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital. The topics ranged from short term to long term
savings needs, along with college tuition and scholarship programs. “As part of
our ongoing relationship and branch office located in the Hospital, we were
happy to be asked to participate” said John Kozich, Credit Union ONE Vice
President of Community Relations.” We were very encouraged by the questions and
discussion points that were covered by the students”.
As
part of the program, always paying yourself first was discussed when building
your savings program. At the conclusion of the day each participant also
received a small savings bank with a $5.00 bill to add to their savings
account. “We were thrilled with the discussion about college savings and scholarships” said Judi Desilets,Credit Union ONE Director of Corporate Events.
The savings and financial services section was one of
many areas that were covered by a day long program set up by the Hospital
staff. Other areas such as Laboratory Services, Radiology, Rehabilitation and
Food Services were a part of the program.
