An Important Message from our President:
URGENT: You may have recently received 1 or 2 e-mails (supposedly) from Bob O’Connor (with a fake e-m address). These e-mails are a SCAM!! Someone hacked my Inbox list on 9/17/20!! They then sent these fake e-mails to many on my list saying I was badly in need of assistance (WRONG) and to buy and send gift cards to some address (not mine). Please DELETE all such requests and Do NOT REPLY!! I’m sorry, it has happened; please relay this message to your friends and relatives. I hope you receive this message before anything drastic occurs.
Thank you. Bob O’Connor
