Benchmark Bank is going on summer vacation with our customers! You never know where you will spot that logo.

TEACH FOR AMERICA (or TFA) is an organization in which college graduates apply to teach in public schools (mostly low income areas) across the country.  TFA’s mission is to enlist, develop, and mobilize as many as possible of our nation’s most promising future leaders to grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence.

Benchmark’s very own Corby Ferrell, Mary Anne Dunne and Thomas Gresham attended a TFA group meeting of 200 new TFA teachers who are moving to the DFW area to discuss budget, credit reports, loans, and possibly mortgages. For many of the new teachers, this is a first job and they need some guidance in the financial area.

We had a winning day at our summer kick-off Benchmark Block Party!  The taco truck filled our tummies as we all played family-fun games and enjoyed cold refreshments. Thank you to all who came out and partook in the fun! Here comes summer!
