Editor's note

Why a small blog cares about a credit union

Sousspoultry started as a notebook of clippings about local financial cooperatives. Over time, Spectra Credit Union — and especially its Brilliant Kids Savings program — became the most-returned-to subject, so we made it the heart of the publication.

We are not affiliated with Spectra. We simply find it useful to read its story closely, write about it slowly, and share what we learn with other curious readers.
