Learning to save your money was the theme!��� UT Federal Credit Union in Knoxville, Tennessee participated in the Project Fresh Start Program community outing.� The students started their day off with a ride on the Knoxville Area Transit bus to UTFCUs main office.� After a tour of the facility several of the students took advantage of the opportunity to open a savings account with their program stipend.� The students then participated in a presentation about the benefit of joining a credit union to help them save money.� They also learned how to keep their identity to themselves through a discussion on preventing identity theft.
The day continued with lunch at a local restaurant and a visit with both Knoxville City and County Mayors.
