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!
