FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS - St. Anne's Credit Union employees volunteered at their third Credit for Life Fair of the school year this week at B.M.C. Durfee High School on Thursday, April 7th.� Credit for Life Fairs give Junior class students the opportunity to learn about budgeting and managing credit through a unique hands on experience.� Students put themselves in the shoes of their older selves and are asked to create a monthly budget, which they do by visiting different booths that each represent a different aspect of adult life, such as housing, transportation, and groceries to name a few.� Once students have their budgets set they bring them to the credit counselors table, which St. Annes employees help staff at every Fair they attend.� The credit counselors go over the students budgeting decisions and provide them with guidance regarding their choices.� St. Annes employees were happy to participate in B.M.C. Durfees Fair again this year and are looking forward to Dartmouth High Schools Credit for Life Fair next week.
