PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More than 150 members of the community enjoyed games, food, music and giveaways at the kick-off party for Greylock Federal Credit Union's second annual Wealth Builders Youth SummerFest on Monday, Aug. 3, at the Kellogg branch in Pittsfield.

This year's theme, "Wild About Wealth," was reflected in the week's series of free events, which included Teen Mini-Golf on Wednesday, Aug. 5 at Baker's Golf; "Financial Tips for Investing in Your Child's Future" on Thursday, Aug. 6 at the Allendale branch; and "Sundaes & Savings" on Friday, Aug. 8 at The Spark of Hudson.

Throughout the week, Greylock's Wealth Builders, youth members up to age 22, could also obtain a term share certificate with a special rate and collect prizes within the branch. Greylock branches decorated their spaces with images that ranged from woodland creatures to safari animals.

"Financial wellness is at the heart of what we do all throughout the year, but SummerFest is one of our signature events that gives us a special opportunity to celebrate our community over several consecutive days and deepen our relationships with our Wealth Builders through activities specifically designed for them," said Roberta McCulloch-Dews, Vice President, Marketing.
