Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:

BarCampBankBC
Brad wanted to touch on the awesomeness that was BarCampBankBC. Though we discussed it in this week’s episode of “The CU Scoop”, it’s well worth bringing to “The Burst!” There was a lot of great content coming out of this event. Check the videos posted by Brent Dixon over on OpenSourceCU and the live blogging from William Azaroff here.

Hurricanes and FIs
Brad asked recently if our members knew of any banks or credit unions that were directly affected by the recent gulf coast hurricanes. One of our Banktastic members was able to use Twitter via his phone to continually update everybody on the status of his bank. It was really interesting to see how despite power outages, we as a community are still able to communicate. If you have any stories to share from this past string of hurricanes, please feel free to do so on Banktastic.

Kids Cash Connection
We discuss in this episode a site that Brad came across called “Kids Cash Connection.” The site is dedicated to helping teach children about business and finances. We’re asking if you think that the children they’re targeting are even interested in learning about finances. I know that as a child, saving money or being “financially responsible” took a backseat to playing cops and robbers. We’d like you to check out their website and let us know if you think their efforts are going to hit home with the children they’re targeting. We’d love to hear from you all at Kids Cash Connection, so comment back if you have any feedback!

Partnership Symposium!
Just a friendly reminder that Mark and I will be at Partnership Symposium next week. We’re going to bring you some great behind-the-scenes footage along with interviews from attendees. Check out BanktasticTV next week to get in on the action!

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:

BarCampBankBC!
Many people came together this past weekend at BarCampBankBC. The attendees worked hard to bring the content to those unable to attend. We’d encourage you to check out the streaming video posted by Brent Dixon over on OpenSourceCU and the live blogging from William Azaroff here.

We’d like to encourage you to get up and check out the upcoming BarCampBank events to see if you can get registered for one or help plan one in the making! BarCampbankCharleston is coming up on October 25, so check it out if you can!

Find Us at Partnership Symposium!
Just in case you’ve forgotten, Partnership Symposium is next week! Yes, Mark and I will be in Indianapolis to check out this big event, and we plan on bringing you some good content in the next couple of episode of “The CU Scoop!” If you’re going to be at the event, we’d love it if you stopped us and said hi. We’ll be filming our show at the event, so stop us if you see cameras in our hands - you could be in our next episode!

Email Us!
Feel free to email comments or suggestions about “The CU Scoop” to mark@banktastic.com, or post your thoughts on the Banktastic Community. We’re always looking for your input.
