Bronco Around Town – November 2024

November was a whirlwind of activity for Bronco, filled with events and celebrations across Franklin and Southampton. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to:

On November 6^th, we teamed up with the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore in Franklin to host a free workshop on Avoiding Scams. Amy Simms led the session, sharing valuable insights on common scams and practical tips to stay safe. Keep an eye out—more informative workshops like this are on the horizon!

On November 14^th, we were honored to celebrate our partnership with Franklin Public Schools at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Career and Technical Academy! During the event, we had the opportunity to tour classrooms showcasing programs like robotics, nursing, criminal justice, building trades and JROTC.

Our collaboration with their business and marketing class has been incredibly rewarding, as we’ve worked together to teach students about key financial topics such as the differences between credit unions and banks, budgeting, credit scores, borrowing and more. It’s exciting to see these future leaders gaining skills that will set them up for success!

A highlight of November was the always-entertaining Franklin-Southampton Area Chamber of Commerce Business Expo on November 21^st—and this year didn’t disappoint! With the theme “Team FSA” and a playful nod to the Olympics, we invited visitors to join Team Bronco and try their hand at curling.

It was a fantastic evening filled with networking, connecting with local businesses, and engaging with our amazing community. A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us as the People’s Choice winner!
