Ryan Wannamaker, age 17, has been a member of Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union since 1989. |
High school students face a daunting list of life issues—education, sports, prom, dating, college, part-time jobs, parents—and now, fears that there may not be Social Security when they’re ready to retire!
Former Googolplex youth editorial board member Ryan Wannamaker has a plan. "Don't worry," he tells his peers, "it's not too late to get ahead in the game."
Your high-school members will be given the alarm by "one of their own" in Ryan’s powerful story. We’ve added a video on the "magic" of compounding, starring high school students Erik Freer and Haley Pangman. After our last filming session, Erik said, "wow, I’m ready to start investing now!"
Be sure to let all your members know about his story for high school students, Social Security for our Generation!
Look for the video in fourth callout box. You can view and share it now, even though it won’t show up on the C-Note front page til October 27.

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!
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:
