A
three-year-old gave this reaction to her Christmas dinner. Mother
decided that 10-year-old Cathy should get something "practical" for
Christmas. "Suppose we open a savings account for you?" mother
suggested. Cathy was delighted. "It's your account, darling,"
mother said as they arrived at the bank, "so you fill out the application."
Cathy was doing fine until she came to the space for "Name of your
former bank." After a slight hesitation, she put down "Piggy."
It's
silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam
when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still
be home by Christmas. ~ Ronald Reagan In
the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it
'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukka' and went to
synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other
on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukka!' or (to the
atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'" ~ Dave Barry "Christmas
Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"

helping on the Playground Project where: Roy Workman, Dr. Don Auerbach,
Jim Ewbank, Dale Tindall, Frank LaMagna, Darrel Gresham, Tom Hanley and Joe
Patty 400
volunteers participated in the event from 8AM til 3PM. Roy Workman was a Build
Team Leader and wore a cute Red Fire Chief Hat all day long. Dr.
Don worked on building the playground equipment and mixing the cement; while
the others assisted with moving 175 cubic square yards of mulch. That's 3
huge dump trucks loads that took 150+ people - 5 hours to move. It was a
beautiful day and two local companies: CA and TechData were major
contributors of the $50,000 for South Ward Elementary - the oldest standing
school in Pinellas County - which is celebrating their 100th Year
Anniversary. Mark

Beasley, VP of Bank of America who talked about "Identity theft" was
introduced by Vice President Jeff Cesta. Bank of
America places a high priority on working with customers who have been
alleged victims of identity theft. The company initiated a process for key
business units in which identity theft victims work with one point of contact
within the bank, rather than needing to contact multiple departments. Bank of
America also uses a single transaction dispute form, the Federal Trade
Commission ID Theft affidavit, across the franchise. Customers can use the
same form to alert multiple companies about fraudulent accounts, rather than
needing to fill out separate forms. Bank of
America has also partnered with several consumer advocacy organizations to
promote awareness about how to prevent and respond to identity theft. Bank of
America teamed with the National Consumer League to launch a public information
campaign to help stop identity theft. The campaign includes public service
announcements, a Web site with tips for avoiding identity theft and a variety
of other materials consumers can use to protect their privacy on the Internet
and elsewhere. The bank also works closely with Consumer Action, a nonprofit
advocacy and education organization, to educate consumers about how to
protect themselves from identity theft, how to prevent identity theft and
what to do when it occurs. The information is available in English and
Spanish and is distributed nationally to individuals and community groups. In
addition, Bank of America also has formed a partnership with the National
Council of State Legislators to disseminate in-depth information about
effective laws, policies and projects to combat identity theft. The
information will be geared to state and federal lawmakers, the financial
industry, law enforcement and the public. The bank
also addresses the issue of identity theft on its Web site, www.bankofamerica.com.
The privacy area of the site (www.bankofamerica.com/privacy) includes a
section called Protecting Yourself, which addresses identity protection
issues related to credit cards and ATMs. An
additional section in the privacy area under Accounts and Services outlines
the different products and services Bank of America offers that help protect
customer privacy and security. These products and services include the
following:
