Community

We had a wonderful time donning our “glad rags” and “putting on the Ritz” for our annual holiday party. This year we wanted to make an impact on the community we live in and chose Families in Transition – Seminole County as our fundraiser beneficiary. We are pleased to say our attendees really got into the night’s festivities and gave generously to such a wonderful organization.

The holiday season is the perfect time for long awaited vacation plans. This is also an ideal time for vandalism and theft. While away, many people tend to leave expensive holiday decorations unsecured and susceptible to these acts. In addition, vacationers are often in such a rush to get out the door that they leave their house in harm’s way.

Identity theft can happen to anyone. It can be tax or medical-related and causes serious damage to your financial security, credit history and personal reputation. Plus, a stolen identity can take months to straighten out—time and hassle you can’t afford. To keep yourself safe from this growing threat, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) outlines these steps for taking back your identity.
