Changing Kids’ Lives Through Financial Education
SECOND QUARTER 2020
Welcome to the RMJ Foundation Newsletter
|
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone so far. Here at the RMJ Foundation, we have been focusing on expanding our financial education programs and finding new ways to bring financial education to credit unions nationwide during the pandemic.
Financial Education Updates
Bite of Reality: With the current pandemic we needed to come up with a new way for credit unions to deliver the Bite of Reality program in their communities. In April, we were able to modify our Bite of Reality program and app to create a remote version. With the remote version, there is no need to look for volunteers or a location to hold your event. For the remote version you will only need the Bite of Reality PowerPoint and the Bite of Reality2 app. Participants will need access to a smart device to download the app and access to join a webinar-style meeting. The hosting credit union provides the webinar information and a facilitator to host the event. This remote version is being offered by the RMJ Foundation free of charge to take the place of the typical in-person reality fairs.
RMJ has made the remote version available nationwide for all credit unions to use during this time. Once in-person events are back to normal operations, the remote version will be phased out. Here is what some the credit unions using the remote version are saying… |

Bite of Reality2 APP
In August we will be launching upgrades to our Bite of Reality2 app. This new version will include changes to the return flow, new occupations and Fickle Finger of Fate events, and a credit score for each participant that will affect their purchase at certain tables when making a purchase. A training session will be held in July to walk through all the new changes coming in August. During the update period from August 1st to August 10th there will be no access to the Bite of Reality2 app to allow for a smooth transition. |

RMJ Golf Tournament
Join us for our annual RMJ / Origence Golf Classic on August 10, 2020 in Dana Point, CA. The day will be filled with golfing by the ocean, food and drinks, raffles, and fun games at designated holes, all while upholding social distancing standards. As of today, we are planning to move forward with our event. We know that travel may not be possible at this time. If you are unable to attend, we ask that you consider sponsoring the event anyway and allow us to continue our mission. Your sponsorship dollars will be put to good use, and we will be sure to provide prominent recognition to our sponsors on the course, and through social media and other channels. Please know that if conditions continue to worsen, we may have to make the difficult decision to cancel the event. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the RMJ Foundation and our Bite of Reality program. Click here to register now! |
