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 />

ELEVATIONS <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Union</strong> 2008 annual report 11<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.
