Latest CPAAAS News
Earlier, I shared with you that Paula Emerson, of the Schaumburg Police Department, is looking for CPAAAS members to help the “Meals on Wheels” program on Saturday mornings. I have more details. The Saturday morning shift is typically around two hours. Paula does not expect to have individuals commit to a long term assignment. Rather, if you are available on any given Saturday or a series of Saturdays, call Paula at the police station with your availability. She will take it from there. Her number is 1-847-348-7274
Many thanks to Pamela Nelson, who has been the CPAAAS newsletter editor for the past two years. Pamela is resigning after putting the final touches on the October newsletter. CPAAAS is looking for an individual to take Pamela’s place as newsletter editor. The newsletter is distributed four times a year. The editor serves as a clearing house for CPAAAS information/event details/etc. and then packages the information in a newsletter format. Gary Clair then receives the newsletter, takes it to the printer, and has it copied. He then mails the newsletter to dues paying members via first class mail.
Cheryl Channic was the featured speaker last night at the CPAAAS General Meeting. She was excellent! The fourteen CPAAAS members in attendance were treated to a wealth of information on the best ways to thwart identity thieves and also were able to learn if the State of Illinois had any of their money. One CPAAAS member learned that there was indeed money in Springfield for her to claim.
You will receive via email today, the form to use when you remit your 2007 CPAAAS dues. Thank you for your continued membership.
Sincerely,
Gary Clair
Correspondence Secretary
