Children Learn the Value of a Dollar in New Boys & Girls Club Program

Mount Kisco, NY (January 29, 2009) – The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester recently welcomed the TD Bank WOW!Zone team to present a series of financial literary lessons for Club youth. Lead by Philip Bronzi, Senior Store Manager of TD Bank in Mount Kisco, the classes were separated by age group and geared towards children in grades 2-9.

The TD Bank WOW!Zone is a financial literacy program that teaches children about the value of money through participation in a variety of activities and games. Over the course of three weeks, Club members learned financial skills applicable in the real world such as budgeting or writing a check. WOW!Zone compliments the Club's current Money Matters program, which promotes financial responsibility and independence for middle and high school youth.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester is located at 351 Main Street, Mount Kisco, NY and can be reached at (914) 666-8069 or www.bgcnw.org.
