Point your young members to the current bonus features in Googolplex as they prepare for the new school year.

Bonus features are found at each level (elementary, middle, and high school) at the top right of any archive page (the page that lists the titles of stories in any particular category).

You can view them from here:

• 5-Spot Clubhouse (elementary school) Bonus Feature: New School Year Resolutions
• AJ’s Mall (middle school) Bonus Feature: Get Involved in Student Government
• C-Note University (high school) Bonus Feature: Find a Part-Time Job that Fits Your Life

We change the bonus features every month. Coming in September: I Want It! I Need It! I Have to Have It! Help high school students combat impulse spending by showing how professional marketers influence their purchase decisions.

Instant poll results – Multi-tasking*

What do you do while watching TV? Googolplex teenagers eat and use the computer. Maybe they’re even doing their financial transactions! Here are the results of the July Instant Poll question:

Q: What other activity are you most likely to do while watching TV?

a) Eat b) Read c) Listen to music d) Do schoolwork e) Use the computer

55% 03% 05% 04% 33%

Thank you Teresa Koch, AVP Marketing, Orange County’s Credit Union, for suggesting the June Instant Poll question.

Help us prepare future Instant Poll Questions for your high school members. On which issues would you like to learn more about what they think? Use your imagination and send your poll questions with possible responses to Rena Crispin.

* Instant Poll results reflect an unscientific sampling of Googolplex readers.

Give youth print and online newsletters!
Every quarter we send you enough ready-to-print pages to create three full newsletters – one for elementary-school, middle-school, and high-school level readers. We provide newsletters in high resolution for print, and low resolution for e-mail or online viewing.

These lively newsletter pages give your young members previews of stories, activities and comics for the coming three months. Use them to direct young readers to your credit union web site, so they can see what’s new at Googolplex on your web site!

IMPORTANT: You add your credit union logo and mailing information. You can print and distribute them, and also make them available as a link on your web site. Got that creative bug? Add your own stories, art, more pages, or customize in other ways - it’s up to you!

Here’s what you get:

• Complete newsletter pages (in high resolution PDF and JPEG formats) for elementary through high school students. The newsletters feature comics, activities and teasers about stories and games for the coming three months.
• All of those same newsletter pages in low-resolution PDF format for online and e-mail use.

Here’s how you get it:
To retrieve the ready-to-print, ready-to-view newsletter pages each quarter, log in to your Googolplex Set-up and Promotion page, select the pages you need, and download them free of charge.

Don’t Waste Your Subscription
If your credit union web address has changed since you last customized Googolplex, make sure your links and credit union logo remain intact by logging in to your Googolplex Set-up and Promotion page.
