BAKE
SALE for HAITI
ALRONA
member Linda Sotomayor comments:
Fridays bake sale was a huge
success, I spent all day Thursday baking and it
all paid off, Actually I was crazed trying to price,
accepting donations and setting up. Along with the
baked sale there was a 50/50 raffle, tickets were
$2 for one or 3 for $5.
For the raffle we collected $500 and the winner
Maria Henning won $250 and without any hesitation
she donated her entire winnings right back to Help
Alliance/Haiti.
Totally we collected $1,869.00!
That's selling a lot of cupcakes,cakes,etc as you
can well imagine. It was great to see all the departments
unite for a common cause,which doesn't happen that
often! I was pooped and finally around 2pm I sat
down with a cup of coffee in my department to chat
and unwind.
Colleagues in Accounting called Rosie Passaro Alrona's
secretary about the sale as she's a good baker and
was very generous with her baked donations.

Concerning
the upcoming census:
Here
are some tips:
The big question is - how do you tell
the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a
con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
*
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your
door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a
Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before
answering their questions. However, you should
never invite anyone you don’t know into your home.
* Census workers are
currently only knocking on doors to verify address
information. Do not give your Social Security number,
credit card or banking information to anyone, even
if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial
information, such as a salary range, it will not ask
for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers
nor will employees solicit donations.
*Eventually,
Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail
or in person at home. However, they will not
contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail
scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link
or open any attachments in an e-mail that are supposedly
from the U.S. Census Bureau.For more advice on avoiding
identity theft and fraud, visit www.bbb.org
