When I bought my first
home, which, by the
way, was financed at
Redstone Federal Credit
Union, I planted a small
garden of tomato plants.
As they started to grow,
it made me proud to
be using techniques
I learned from my
grandfather. Every year
he was featured in a local newspaper for growing
the biggest tomatoes.
inking of my grandfather makes me
reminisce about when we would sit in big
rocking chairs on the front porch, watching
traffic while shelling butter beans. As we
worked, he would tell us stories about his
childhood. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I
sometimes yearn for those days now.
With summer here and my tomatoes
beginning to ripen, my mind goes back to those
simpler days.
Amazingly, people are a lot like those small
seeds I would plant. Sometimes all it takes to
help them grow is the right type of environment
(soil) and the right amount of encouragement
(water) to reach their full potential.
At Redstone, we strive to provide the right
financial environment to help you, our
members, reach your full potential. From basic
financial products, to financial counseling,
brokerage services and a host of insurance
products, we offer the experience, expertise and
knowledge to help you grow.
With accounts and services for newborns to
retirees and beyond, Redstone is here for you ...
for a lifetime.
