This spring, Affinity Group Credit Union branches did their part to promote reading month.
Kensington Valley Community, the credit unions Highland branch, invited several classrooms of Highland elementary students to the office for a chance to read.
"I was read to as a child and today, it is my way to complete relaxation", said Korey Tague, Highland branch manager. "I enjoy reading to any child, simply for their reaction to the story. Reading is the single most important skill necessary for a happy, productive and successful life. A child that is an excellent reader is a confident child, has a high level of self esteem and is able to easily make the transition from learning to read to reading to learn."
Other branches read to students or donated books, as well.
In addition, credit union employees volunteered time at its Operation: Kid Equips Teachers Annex in Troy to help sort incoming product donations, stock shelves and create displays, greet and assist teachers, keep the free store organized and tidy, and help teachers during the check-out process.
In addition, each employee that volunteered was able to help put books in the hands of kids.
