International
Credit Union Day
Money Smart Week and
For 58 years, credit unions have been
celebrating International Credit Union Day
and this year is no exception. On Friday,
October 20, 2006, General Credit Union
will proudly mark the day with a variety of
events, activities and refreshments.
This year we are tying "Money Smart
Week" into our celebration. The mission
of Money Smart Week is to combat
financial illiteracy and provide financial
education to consumers. We will have
literature for our members on budgeting,
saving money and balancing a checkbook.
We will also have a Child ID kit, coloring
books and crayons available for children
to learn about savings too! We will also
be offering a free seminar which focuses
on investment education using long-term
principals.
