"Beware of People Bearing Gifts"
​A courier company calls to say they have a package that requires a signature and wants to be sure you are home. A uniformed delivery man arrives with a beautiful basket of flowers and a bottle of wine. He doesn’t know who the sender is and explains that, because the gift contains alcohol, there is a $3.50 delivery and verification charge to prove that the package was delivered to an adult of legal
drinking age and not just left on the doorstep. You offer to pay cash but are told the delivery company requires payment by credit card for their records. He then pulls out a small mobile card machine with a screen and keypad. You swipe your card, enter your PIN and a receipt is printed for you. This machine now has all the information necessary to create a “dummy” card with all your details, including the PIN, and can be used for credit card transactions and ATM withdrawals. WARNING: Be wary of accepting any “surprise gift or package” which you neither expected nor personally ordered, especially if it requires any kind of payment. Also, never accept anything if the sender cannot be identified.

​June marks my first anniversary since becoming the Executive Director for ANGELS. The time has flown by. It seems like yesterday. I want to express my thanks for the opportunity and privilege to serve such an amazing organization. ANGELS is comprised of ordinary people, doing extraordinary things for their senior neighbors. I'm proud of our accomplishments this past year and look forward to the future. One milestone that continues to receive praise is the addition of automatic door openers for both our entry and rest room doors.We continue to grow as an organization to meet the needs of our communities through our group of amazing dedicated volunteers and employees. THANK YOU for your service!
