Redstone Federal Credit Union

r e d f c u.o r g | 5 CEO: Continued from page 2 Another initiative that we began last year with the United Way is the Affordable Auto Loan Program. People who are referred to Redstone from this program by the United Way, Huntsville Housing Authority, or Department of Human Resources may qualify for a lower auto loan rate. is program is critical because the region lacks a robust public transportation system. Simply put, the program helps people get to their jobs. Also, our payday alternative loans continue to help members who may have otherwise been forced to seek help from payday lenders at astronomical rates. Serving our members of modest means is important to us as a credit union, it's important to our community's growth, and it's the right thing to do! Fun date ide as for Your Valentine Skip the busy restaurants, overrated movies, and cheap chocolate! For something different this year, check out these ideas for a fun date night with your valentine: 1. Host an indoor picnic. Spread out a blanket, add candles and soft music, and serve some food, like a heart-shaped pizza or charcuterie board. 2. Play games. Visit an arcade or dig out the video games at home. 3. Reminisce. Drive to various places around town that hold special memories for you (and take selfies!), or simply peruse old pictures and videos. 4. Take a class. Options include cooking, painting, exercising, and more. 5. Go on a tour. Do you like museums, wineries, or something else? ere's probably a place nearby that you haven't visited yet. 6. Create a scavenger hunt. is requires forethought, but it's a creative way to present a gift. You can increase the difficulty by following clues with a flashlight in the dark. 7. Get active. Consider bowling, indoor rock climbing, playing laser tag, jumping at a trampoline park, roller skating, or ice skating. 8. Do some fun shopping. is is not a time for errands! Consider an antique store, bookstore, candy store, or bakery, whichever is your favorite – or all of the above. ere's no need to spend a lot of money. Window shopping is fun too! If you're thinking bigger – like a vacation or wedding – remember that Redstone can help with financing.
