Legacy Sponsors EcoMax Home Expo EcoKids
Adults weren't the only ones learning at the EcoMAX HomeExpo this year. The event had a new children's section, EcoKids, sponsored by Legacy. The event aimed to increase children's knowledge of the environment and help teach them about what they can do, even as kids, to help protect it.

Children got to take part in various activities including wind powered boat races, water pollution activities, and a live animal show, just to name few.

The EcoMax Home Expo is an annual event sponsored by MAX, Your Community Credit Union®. The Expo works to provide real solutions for people who want to make a positive difference in their lives and in the Central Alabama River Region. The two-day expo provided information, ideas, resources and products to help Alabamians conserve energy, save money and live healthier.


Education Corporation of America Goes Green
In an effort to get their employees excited about efforts to conserve energy and improve the environment, Education Corporation of America (ECA) recently kicked off its corporate Go-Green initiative with an employee luncheon. ECA is the parent company of Virginia College, Virginia College Online, Culinard, and Golf Academy of America. The program is starting with the corporate headquarters and will expand to all campuses, encouraging employees and students to be aware of some of the simple things they can do to save energy.

Legacy's own Stacey Little and Marijean Hadley were the guest speakers at the event. Following their presentation, ECA made a generous $1,000 donation to Legacy.
