*Media Advisory* Checking Education Program Celebrates Three Successful Years

WHAT: Reception to celebrate the Get Checking programs third year and more than 300 graduates

WHEN: Wednesday, June 25, 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

WHERE: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, One Federal Reserve Bank Plaza, (Broadway and Locust Streets), St. Louis, Mo. 63102

WHO: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the University of Missouri Extension

WHY: The Get Checking program is designed for people who do not have an account with a financial institution or who want to learn more about their current account. Maybe they have never had an account and don't know how to start. Maybe they have had problems with an account in the past and that's making it difficult to open a new one.

This reception celebrates the programs three-year success, more than 300 graduates, and the volunteers who make it all possible.
