How old do I have to be to have a card?"
We hear these questions a lot and here are the answers.
 | Complete a short, simple application and sign it. |
| The card is free the first time, replacements for lost cards are $3.00. |
| We like for a child to be in 1st grade and able to sign both first and last name before they get a card. |
