Contact: Lon Bone – (248) 322-9800 Ext. 2570

Auburn Hills, MI, March 31, 2011 – April is Credit Union Youth Month, and this year’s national theme is “Money Rock$.” Genisys has several activities planned for its younger members including a deposit promotion for the chance to win a karaoke machine.

During Money Smart Week Michigan from April 2-9, 2011, Genisys is hosting several legislative representatives at our School Financial Seminars. Students will learn about money management and the importance of saving.

“This is a wonderful experience for our local youth as they learn how financial literacy plays a role in our government,” said Lon Bone, Vice President of Public Relations.

National Credit Union Youth Week is April 18-23, 2011, and any Genisys youth club member who stops in to see us will receive FREE Rock Star Silly Bandz and a coloring page.

“The Money Rock$ contest and prize give-a-way is a great way to promote how saving can be fun,” said Darren Cameron, Vice President of Marketing. “Hopefully, our younger members will continue to see the value and adopt these money-management skills in the future.”

Genisys offers three FREE clubs to help youth learn how to save and manage money like a financial genius: Moola Moola (0-7), Youth Investors (8-12) and Teen Advantage (13-17). Each club offers prizes, contests, newsletters and helpful information tailored to each age group to make learning fun.

For more information about our youth programs, please visit www.moolamoola.org, www.youthinvestors.org, or www.teenadvantage.org. If you’d like to have your classroom participate in our School Financial Seminars, please email publicrelations@genisyscu.org.
