You can now stay connected to your family and loved ones back home. You can record yourself reading a story book to your children and then send them the DVD in the mail. How to participate: (1) Schedule your reading time with a Navy Federal representative; (2) On your reading day, go to the designated private reading area in the branch, (3) Select a storybook and record the reading and a personal message, (4) Ship the DVD and the book back home to your loved ones-and Navy Federal will provide the packing materials to you. You can always record again. Great free program for those deployed/stationed away from their loved ones. If interested see a Navy Federal Representative for details.

Opportunity: They try to keep their volunteer programs fun and easy to participate in. (Due to the location and nature of our work, they ask that participants be at least 12 years of age.) A normal shift is 2.5 hours, and you can participate in as many shifts as you like. It is a great team building and communication activity for company employees, and they have many companies who periodically participate as part of their employee development programs.
