Several Mississippi credit unions participated in a reality fair at the annual Congressman Bennie G. Thompson College and Career Fair held in Greenville, Mississippi.  Congressman Thompson invites credit unions to hold a CU4Reality™ Fair at the event each year, giving students the opportunity to learn more about managing money in the real world.  Along with staff members from the Mississippi Credit Union Association, this year’s fair participants included staff from Jackson Area FCU, Hope FCU, & Statewide FCU.

With companies from throughout the community assisting, students in the Meridian area also experienced a Reality Fair this fall, courtesy of their local credit unions.  The Meridian CU4Reality™ Fair, in its fourth year, features a partnership among the Lauderdale County School District, Meridian Mutual FCU & MUNA FCU.
