Helping Children & Teens Cope    We extend our deepest sympathies to the people of Newtown for their loss from the unthinkable school tragedy on December 14th.  Parents everywhere may need to offer some extra support to their kids and to be alert for signs that may signal concern.  The attached guide may help bring focus to what you may be seeing in your kid’s behavior.   The guide was developed by Behavioral Health Services for the County of San Diego.  [click here for guide]

Fraud Awareness    Non-profit corporations and agencies should take precautions against check fraud scams.  [click here for full story] A common theme involves a reproduction of a non-profit’s vendor or payroll check.  Help wanted ads and social media draw in unsuspecting people to receive a check for several thousand dollars from the non-profit.  The instructions (through a call or email) are to keep $500 and turn the rest over to their supposed business representative.

The scams have a weak story to lure people in.   Here are a few: 

  • A soon-to-be discharged soldier stationed in Afghanistan needs you to cash his check to put toward a rent deposit.
  • A scholarship to an out-of-state institute has been awarded and the check will help pay for your travel expenses.
  • A parent of a disabled child new in town has no back account yet, but a foundation has sent a check for a new wheelchair…will you cash it?
  • Help wanted: Need a personal assistant…email Nelle at workatfurniture2@gmail.com   This ad (or one like it) is seen in electronic news outlets in several major cities. 

Fiscal service staff at non-profits should contact their local bank to learn about best practices to prevent check fraud.  Learn how Positive Pay, Reverse Positive Pay, prompt reconciliation, ACH Filter / Block and other services or procedures may be beneficial in protecting your non-profit’s assets.

55th Anniversary Gala was a Blast!

Oh, what a night! Guests were welcomed aboard the USS Midway Museum by volunteers and staff wearing 1950s attire and ushered into the hangar bay where Frank Sinatra was crooning and a lovely gal was showing off her hula hooping skills. The program was opened by The Cat and the Hat who also first leapt out from the page in 1957. (Complete story)
