Point Arena, CA (March 9, 2015) — Redwood Credit Union (RCU) recently donated $1,500 to support Arena Union Elementary School’s Kudos After School Program in the coastal community of Point Arena, CA. RCU’s Point Arena Branch Manager Robin Ashford, Community Assistant Vice President Meg Cadiz and Community Coordinator Briana Gonzalez presented a check to Kudos Director Kim Swenson to support their after-school program. The Kudos program serves over 90 elementary school-age children per day in Point Arena, and also provides ongoing support to local families.
“Kudos is an invaluable resource in Point Arena, and offers project-based activities and field trips with an environmental, artistic, healthy eating and active living focus, which we believe helps students gain a well-rounded education that will benefit them for life,” Ashford said.
