During the month of March, each of the six branches of Affinity Group Credit Union are doing something to help promote reading month! In addition to all of their various personal touches, each and every branch is giving away free books to any child that comes into the credit union! So bring your little one in so that they can pick their favorite one! MFEfamily.org provides free books and learning tools for all Michigan students. Families only pay for shipping and handling, visit the website for more details. Our members helped make this program possible with their donations to Affinity Foundation for Michigan Kids. AFMK was created to help fulfill a need for children within the State of Michigan. The foundations sole purpose is to generate donations that are provided to kids from birth through college age to further their social responsibility, intellectual growth and personal development skills. The Foundation’s goal is to provide financial assistance to help as many Michigan children as possible develop and achieve all they can be.
Pontiac branch manager, Chad Rich, uses these words from Benjamin Franklin as words to live by, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. “I really think that is the truth”, Chad states. “The more you know, the more you can grow. You can learn and grow in many different ways, but as young as you can, you need to be reading.”
At our Highland branch where “reading is a hoot!”, Regional manager Korey Tague has had kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders from Highland Elementary come in for a field trip, story time, and have some fun coloring and winning prizes!
