kids fair<br />
Hundreds of fun-loving kids and<br />
their parents showed up for our fi rst-ever “Rags<br />
to Riches Club Kids’ fair” in 2008. The draw? A<br />
bounce house, spin-art, temporary tattoo booth,<br />
carnival games, music, refreshments, and the<br />
opportunity to have a souvenir photo taken<br />
with our very own Kids’ Club mascot, Rags the<br />
mountain lion. That’s an unbeatable combination<br />
that any kid would enjoy.<br />
<strong>Elevations</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong>’s “Rags to Riches Club”<br />
is a special savings account for children up to age<br />
13 that teaches them about money. Kids learn<br />
the “save, share and spend” method of managing<br />
money. They learn lessons early on that will serve<br />
them well for a lifetime.<br />

To encourage the savings habit, kids can pick a<br />
reward every time they make a deposit of $5.00<br />
or more at any <strong>Elevations</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> branch<br />
once they become a member.<br />
Club membership includes three money pouches,<br />
a savings account with no minimum balance,<br />
newsletters, and much more.<br />
The Rags Kids’ Fairs were held in 2008 at the<br />
fl agship Diagonal Branch in June and then helped<br />
kick off the grand opening of the Broomfi eld/<br />
Erie Branch in September. Each event attracted<br />
hundreds of people and resulted in new account<br />
openings.
