Q2 2019

The Future is Yours… April is National Credit Union youth month and we want to inspire young members to picture their future and set goals to save for it.

“When we acknowledge and record our goals for the future, they’re more likely to come true” says Michelle Kamke, Marketing Projects Manager at CUNA. “By encouraging our youngest members to get into this habit, we’re fostering their ability to save for the future they dream of.”

Do you have a few goals set already for the year? Have you started working towards them yet? A great way to keep a visual track of your goals is to create a vision board. All you will need is a poster board, markers, magazines, stickers and

a bit of creativity. Use the form on the back of this page and list your goals and dreams, then go through the magazines and fnd images that refect what you wrote down. Use your creativity to decorate your poster board to your liking. There is no wrong way to do it!

Celebrate saving for your future! To celebrate National Credit Union Youth Month we are giving away a Fujiflm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera! Enter for a chance to win at your local FFCCU branch. All you have to do is bring Smokey, your piggy bank, in and deposit at least $5 into your Sparky Kid’s Club Account.* Remember, with your $5 deposit, FFCCU will also give you a $5 “piggyback” match!**

Make an Eggshell Disappear!

Be sure to ask a grown-up for help!

What You Need:

• an egg • regular white vinegar • a glass jar with lid

Directions:

1.Add an egg to a glass jar that has a wide mouth.

2.Add vinegar. Pour in enough vinegar to cover the egg.

3. Look for bubbles! This is one part of the chemical reaction that is happening inside the jar.

4. Put on the lid, and let sit for a few days, or maybe a week. The brown eggshell color pales. A layer of scum appears on the surface of the vinegar. If you’re keen, you could replace the vinegar after a day or two.

5.Carefully remove the egg from the vinegar. Wash and gently rub off any remaining eggshell. If your eggshell doesn’t come off easily, you may need to soak it in more vinegar for another day).
