C-Note Gets a New Look—New Features!

Coming soon! The new C-Note’s “on the table,” getting hooked up right now!

In a few weeks we’ll be testing it to make sure all the new features are in place and are doing what they’re supposed to do.

Here is just one of the new features that your youth will experience when the new C-Note launches in a few weeks:

Customization

As in the current C-Note, visitors will have access to all of the sites’ articles, games, blogs and links back to your credit union. In addition, in the new C-Note, teenagers who register and log in will be able to:

• Enter a photo, be eligible to win cash, and vote in the photo contest;
• Save favorite stories, games, videos, blogs, or calculators for later viewing;
• Post comments on any story page, Wheels episode, blog, or Instant Poll questions;
• Receive e-mail notification when an item in a topic they’ve chosen goes live;
• Chose a color scheme for the site.

Instant poll results – Cell Regs*

Cell phones are becoming as popular an accessory as earrings and necklaces. But just how should high schools deal with this new accessory?

More than one-third of C-Note teenagers believe that students should be allowed to use cell phones at any time but only in designated locations. Help them understand their accessory a little better by sharing with them the C-Note story, Cell Phones: Get What You Need.

Here are the results of last month’s Instant Poll question:

Cell Regs
Q: When or where should schools let students use cell phones?

a. Any time, anywhere on school property b. Any time, but only outside the building c. Anywhere, but only at designated times d. Any time, but only in designated areas e. Nowhere on school property, ever

Instant Poll Questions capture your high school members’ attention. On which issues would you like to learn more about what they think? Use your imagination and send your poll questions with possible responses to Rena Crispin.

Give youth print and online newsletters!
Every quarter we send you enough ready-to-print pages to create three full newsletters – one for elementary-school, middle-school, and high-school level readers. We provide newsletters in high resolution for print, and low resolution for e-mail or online viewing.

These lively newsletter pages give your young members previews of stories, activities and comics for the coming three months. Use them to direct young readers to your credit union web site, so they can see what’s new in 5-Spot, AJ’s and C-Note.

IMPORTANT: You add your credit union logo and mailing information. You can print and distribute them, and also make them available as a link on your web site. Got that creative bug? Add your own stories, art, more pages, or customize in other ways - it’s up to you!

Here’s what you get:

• Complete newsletter pages (in high resolution PDF and JPEG formats) for elementary through high school students. The newsletters feature comics, activities and teasers about stories and games for the coming three months.
• All of those same newsletter pages in low-resolution PDF format for online and e-mail use.

Here’s how you get it:
To retrieve the ready-to-print, ready-to-view newsletter pages each quarter, log in to your Googolplex Set-up and Promotion page, select the pages you need, and download them free of charge.
