Each April, we celebrate our youngest members with a series of contests and events in their honor. This year's theme, "Young & Fit," will teach children the benefits of saving. Encourage the young ones in your life to sign up for our Penny Savers (birth to age 11) or My2Cents (age 12 to 17) youth clubs and get a head start on the road to financial fitness.
Pen Air FCU will host the following events during Youth Week, as well as a month-long coloring contest to celebrate National Financial Literacy Month in April:

"Money Moves!" Penny Savers Event
Robertsdale (AL) and Nine Mile (FL) Branches

Our Penny Savers will learn about saving through a fun game incorporating music, movement and money!
 

"Jump into Saving!" My2Cents Event

My2Cents club members will enjoy an interactive presentation about setting savings goals, creating a budget and general credit union knowledge.
 
 
"Color Yourself Fit" Coloring Contest
Children are encouraged to draw, color and write out how they are practicing financial fitness (i.e. ways they save, chores they complete, summer jobs they've landed) on coloring sheets available at all Pen Air FCU branches and online. Winners in each category (birth to age 11) and (age 12-17) will receive a $25 deposit to their Penny Savers or My2Cents account.
