Dana Catalano and Linda Friedman introduced a
team sales board for the coupon books and requested that we keep selling
coupon books. The coupons really are a great value! Coupon
Books. Highlights or changes to the coupon book this year include
three Indian restaurants, Red's cheeseburgers and others. Team 2 is gonna
come through and do well.
Roger Fetter & Jim Eberly announced the need to sell more bricks
for the Central Parklet for the Children's Play Space. Our Club is competing
with the Evening Club, and the winning club will be served lunch by the
losing club at a future date. That's one more incentive to see bricks!
We need to sell bricks. Sign your
Brick Pledge today! We
can meet our goal if everyone buys one and sells one.
The District Newsletter for January is available at the District
Web site by clicking on the link to the  current
newsletter. http://www.district7350.org
The District Conference will take place from May
13-15. Registration forms are available from Carol or on the District

RYLA. The RYLA event will be held at Juniata
College this ummer. Nominations for attendees are being taken now. LeAnne
Martin is the contact person in our club. Students that are juniors
in highschool now are eligible.
Jim Eberly reported about Rotary's Central
Parklet Project sponsored by the two SC clubs. The new "Children's
Play Space" will be lot of fun for kids. The total costs of the project
are $50,000. 50% needs to be raised by the two SC clubs as part of Rotary's
100th anniversary in 2005. Bricks are on
sale ($100 for first kid name, $50 for each subsequent). The bricks
will be used for the walkway. A pamphlet
was distributed. Please be selling bricks!
 The
club has a list serv. All active members
are on it. The email address for it is SCDTROTARY-@LISTS.PSU.EDU. Email Paul Rutter to see about your admission.
It is a private listserv not open to the
public. If you are already on it and want help with it please call or
email me.
There are two new Web pages up. One is for Rotary
Foundation Program alumni.The hope or goal behind
this page is to keep members aware of persons in our community that might
benefit further from Rotary by membership or participation in other things
we are doing. The second page is on the District Web site. It honors the
Veterans in our Rotary community. Both pages are still in an initial
building stage so if you know of anyone that has been left out, please
let me know so I can include them.
mystery answer: none
this week.
| Previous
Week's Speaker: Tony Lopinski from State College Police |
Tony spoke to us about identity theft. ID theft effects 10,000,000
persons in the United States each year. And it is rising! Tony suggests
protecting your social security number and your drivers license number.
He says we all need to minimize the numebr of cards we arry and also
in the cards we do keep, he suggested asking the credit issuers to lower
the limits. Also Tony recommends shreding docuemtns with personal information
on them. there were a numebr of smalelr tips suchj as not placign externa;l
mail in your mail box. To place these things in USPS drop boxes.
One of the other things Tony said to do was to get copies of your credit
reports from Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian each year. The cost
is minimal. One of the bankers in the club offered that the reports
will be free later this year, once per year.
Equifax: 800-685-1111; Experian: 888-397-3742; Trans Union: 800-916-8800
Punishment for ID theft is a misdemenor unless the victim is a senior
then it becomes a felony 3.
In State College the number for the State College Police is 234-7150
for non emergencies.
As any banker in the club could attest, these instances
of stolen credit cards and checks happen too many times each week. There
are laws that will protect consumers but the laws take time for funds
to be returned and in the mean times you will be without funds. Also
often proof of innocence is on the consumer, as much as it would appear
or seem like it shouldn't be that way.-ed.
