"I had a wonderful time working with these bright youngsters; they were very attentive and asked great questions," says Brown. "It is a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn about savings from a very young age; even the adults can learn from these educational seminars that RCB hosts. One teacher even commented to me that she also learned something and she was glad I was invited to speak with these kids," added Nancy Brown, Branch Manager at the Wilmington Office of Reading Co-operative Bank.
