Community OutreachChanging the face of the short-term loan industry will be a long process but RKZ Management has taken steps in the right direction. Too often we are seen as predatory lenders and we want to be appreciated and known as community advocates. Although nothing is concrete, we’ve had a great start to our move towards corporate volunteerism. We will continue participating in community events, donating funds and being a part of community related organizations. RKZ Management has developed and incorporated a corporate volunteerism program with well reception from employees as well as the community. Please take a look at our RKZ community newsletter for information on past, current and upcoming events and social activism.
Outreach Mania Newsletter, June 2011 Issue We also request that our customers keep us informed and aware of what needs to be done in their individual
communities and organizations and we will make great efforts to provide our assistance. We Need You!! is a program implemented by RKZ Management as an extension of corporate volunteerism and the company's community activism. Customers as well as community members who are a part of a local non-profit or social services organization have the opportunity to complete and submit requests to receive volunteer or financial assistance for special events and existing programs. Fill out the We Need You!! form for any of the above consideration for your organization. RKZ Management embarks on a financial literacy campaign in 2009As part of our efforts to expand corporate social responsibility and consciousness in our industry, we are holding financial literacy courses several times a year beginning in 2009. Participants learn everything from the basics of banking to how to improve their credit and understanding of loan products. The first classes began May 27 in St. Louis, Missouri. Our current collaboration is with Better Living Communities, an organization that has been dedicated to improving the St. Louis community for decades by assisting individuals and families in urban, economically depressed areas. This includes support and maintenance of homes in order to keep them in safe working order, and the development of new, affordable housing to better the quality of life of people in specific neighborhoods. To find out when our next class will be held, contact Yolanda Clark at 636-533-0119 or yolanda@rkzmgmt.com. For questions or info regarding community outreach, contact: Yolanda Clark
