Stay Safe When You Go Online
It's fun to go online to play games, get help with your homework, or email your friends. But to keep it fun, you need to stay safe. Here are four things to remember:
1. Check with your parents about where you can go online and how much time you can spend there. Your parents may have other rules, too.
2. Get a parent's permission before giving out any personal information such as your address or telephone number, a parent's work address or telephone number, or where you go to school.
3. Never send your picture without checking with a parent first.
4. Don't respond to any messages that make you feel uncomfortable. Ask your parent to help you set up a spam filter to limit the number of unwanted messages.

Get in the Savings Game During Youth Week
Some kids like to play soccer, football, or T-ball. Others prefer board games, such as Monopoly, chess or checkers. But there's one game all kids should learn to play: The Savings Game. It's easy to learn and fun, too. There aren't very many rules either. You just have to remember that every time you get some money, you should save some or all of it. Say you get money as a gift or as an allowance. Or you're paid for doing extra chores or you sell toys or books you no longer need. When you do, don't spend it all! Put some of it away to spend another day. You can learn how to win during The Savings Game at this year's National Credit Union Youth Week, April 19-24, 2010. Ask your mom or dad to bring you to PAFCU during Youth Week and get into The Savings Game.
