Dear BPW Colleagues, |
| |
What are the things that hold us together? Our similar values
are a common thread. Many of us have the belief that there is
something "out there" bigger than ourselves that we can lean on
when things get tough. We get up in the morning and are grateful
for having another day and a chance to make it big in the world
or simply to make a difference.
I have spoken to many people in the last few days about a very
common theme. With wide eyes and a warm heart I hear them say,
"I just want to help people". One thing I see in the BPW is the
call for all of us to make a difference. Each month members come
to the meetings and share who they are and how they want to help
the world. You hear the passion in their voices and you can see
it in the their smiles.
So each day when I get up I plan my day mentally and start the
day off with love in my heart and the hope of being able to
connect with someone before the day is through. I am like all of
you; I too want to help people - I want to make a difference in
someone's life. This is why I enjoy my role at the BPW. I enjoy
working with and getting to know all the like-minded women in
this organization!
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Barb Tremlett
BPW of Nashua President 2010-2011

5 Tips to Protect Yourself from Credit and Identity Theft
Today's fast paced world of electronic convenience has made
identity theft an ever-increasing problem. You probably know
someone who this has happened to - it may have happened to you.
It can be a nightmare - and an expensive and time consuming one
at that. There are simple actions you can take that can help to
protect your identity and your credit rating:
1.When you order checks, don't use your full first or middle
names; use your initials with your full last name instead. Who's
going to guess that "B" stands for "Barbara" or "Bertram" when
attempting to forge your signature?
2.Instead of using your home phone number on your checks, put
your work number. In addition, if you have a PO Box, use it for
your address and never, ever publish your Social Security number
on your checks.
3.Make photocopies of every piece of identification that you
carry with you daily - and be sure to copy both sides. Keep the
copies in a safe and handy place. If you're wallet is ever
stolen, all the information you'll need - auto license and
registration, credit card account numbers, and customer service
hot lines, will be available to you in one place.
4.If your credit cards are stolen, file a police report in the
jurisdiction where it was stolen immediately. You'll want enough
back-up proof as possible for your credit card issuers that you
were diligent.
5.If your credit cards are stolen, call all national credit
reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on
your name and Social Security number. The alert lets any company
that checks your credit know that your information was stolen
and that they are to contact you by phone to authorize any new
credit. Their numbers are: Equifax, 800-685-1111, Experian,
888-397-3742, and Trans Union, 800-888-4213. In case your Social
Security card or number is stolen, it may be best for you to
notify the Social Security Administration at 800-269-0271, too.
While no amount of caution can be totally fool-proof, being
aware of the potential identity theft possibilities and of how
to protect ourselves -even if we fall victim - are simple steps
to give us added defense.
