The heat may not be letting up any time soon, but cooler days—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀—are eventually on the way.

When that happens, resist the temptation to let that extra room in your budget disappear. Consider putting some of that difference into savings or a side-fund for holiday spending.

When you’re already accustomed to spending a certain amount, saving it instead can be one of the easiest ways to build up your balance without dramatically changing your budget.

“It's none of their business. Don't tell the bank why you’re withdrawing the money.”

That instruction is not a request for privacy; it’s a major 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If someone pressures you to withdraw cash, purchase gift cards, send cryptocurrency or hide the real reason for a transaction, stop and talk with your banker. A quick conversation could help protect your funds and everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Our own Shundrea will be captured! Her crimes are serious!

‼️💰WANTED!💰‼️

Shundrea McCloud from Gateway Bank

---

The Pioneer Village's Jail-N-Bail starts NOW! If you don't want to see this criminal behind bars Thursday, August 27 in our very own jail... help them raise their bail money before we call the Sheriff!

A minimum of $250 must be raised in Shundrea's name by 3 p.m. August 27 or the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department will round her up to be transported to the holding cell.

If you want to contribute to the bail funds, give money to the criminal to have their bail ready... and if you don't trust them, send money via cashapp to $PioneerVillage and make sure to include their name in your sending notes.

----

What did Shundrea do? We'll start here...

‼️ Aggravated Lollipop Hoarding: Unlawfully withholding the premium Dum-Dum flavors (specifically Cherry and Blue Raspberry) from adults who clearly came in for a deposit, not to be judged.

‼️ Grand Theft Coin Counter Time: Deliberately taking an extra ten minutes in the back room just to watch the mesmerizing loose-coin sorting machine finish its run.

‼️ Incitement of Drive-Thru Tube Vengeance: Launching the pneumatic drive-thru canister at terminal velocity, scaring unsuspecting drivers half to death through their open windows.

Join us for some fun at the Pioneer Village Thursday, Aug. 27 from 4 to 7 p.m. for a Leon's Catfish and Steak House fundraiser dinner! All proceeds from the dinner and the Jail-N-Bail Event go towards the renovations of the Village's Heritage Hall Project to create a community room and performance hall!

Limited tickets available at My Berry Patch and Cleveland County Herald, or by contacting a Pioneer Village member!
