  • TD Bank is offering kids a great summer reading program. The program will pay kids $10 to get reading this summer. Kids read any ten books during summer vacation, write the titles on the Summer Reading Log and take the form to the nearest TD Bank or TD Bank North location by September 30th. The bank will deposit $10 into any existing or new Young Savers account. In addition to promoting literacy and giving kids a project for the summer, this is a great way for parents to start a dialogue with their kids early on the importance of saving.
  • Liberty Mutual’s, The Responsibility Project proudly presents “TONY” and “FATHER’S DAY” – two film shorts just in time for Father’s Day. Both films celebrate fathers and the relationship they have with their children. In “TONY,” actor Tate Donovan goes to great lengths to find his child’s lost teddy bear, while “FATHER’S DAY” captures the emotions of a complicated father-daughter relationship.
