children the value
of a dollar and
makes saving money fun! Children, from
birth to 11 years old, receive a special
Gold Star Passbook when they open
this account. Each time they make a
deposit - small or large - they receive a
Gold Star for their passbook. For every
five Gold Stars they earn, they choose
a prize. All that is required is a $5.00
membership deposit and social
security card to open this account. Plus
kids receive a free piggy bank at
account opening.
