APGFCU presents Military Saves

(Aberdeen, February 13, 2007) —

The Department of Defense has designated February 25 through March 4, 2007, as Military Saves Week. This week is dedicated to encouraging service members and their families to establish savings goals and set money aside for emergencies and other needs. APGFCU is proudly supporting this effort by asking military members to join Military Saves.

“APGFCU is delighted to support the Military Saves campaign,” said Tina Mike, APGFCU Education Director. “We see an incredible need for improved saving habits in today’s world. This is a model program for changing lives by creating economic opportunity.”

Saving money and alleviating debt require dedication, awareness, and patience. Military Saves provides the necessary tools to help accomplish that financial mission. Individuals simply make the commitment to save money on a regular basis to achieve their personal financial goals. Participants receive free educational and motivational workshops, a free consultation with a wealth coach, free advice from a financial planner, a quarterly newsletter, and much-needed encouragement to continue the savings habit.

In addition to building a solid savings plan, any person who registers as a Military Saver between February 26 and March 10, 2007, will be entered to win a $500 APGFCU 12-month certificate. Kiosks will be available to sign up at APGFCU’s branches in Aberdeen, Havre de Grace, and on post.

Stuart Clode, APGFCU SVP, stated that “as a credit union, APGFCU’s mission is to improve the financial wellness of all members and to empower them to meet life’s challenges with confidence and knowledge. The military family has been our focus from the very beginning and will remain a top priority.”
APGFCU’s roots go back to 1938 when a group of local pioneers decided to address the savings and borrowing needs of the military families at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. Sixty-nine years later, their vision remains intact with a full presence on the Post. An active branch office and four ATMs serve the financial needs of military and civilian families, in addition to the seven branches and over 20 ATMs off-post. In conjunction with the APG administration, APGFCU also provides money management training to young recruits and offers FREE Budgetary Advice for any family that could use a helping hand to meet its day to day financial commitments.
The APG branch, located at Chesapeake Avenue and Oakington Street, is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm Monday through Thursday, 8:30am-5:00pm Fridays, and 9:30-1:00pm Saturdays, and provides extra long hours on all civilian and military paydays to meet the special circumstances of these APG members.
