DASH for the Stash at the Library
Money Smart Week (MSW) ends Saturday and in celebration the Newton Public Library will be participating in DASH for the Stash. The statewide winner of this contest will be awarded $1,000 to open or add to a retirement investment account. To play, participants go to the library to find four posters. They read each poster, access the quiz question and choose an answer. The easiest way to play DASH for the Stash is to use a smart phone or mobile device to scan each poster’s QR code, but you can also use a computer. Posters will be on display at the library. Check out our Money Smart Week display while visiting the library to play the contest.
