A Serious Note To Parents & Grandparents

The ingestion of hand sanitizer by children
can result in alcohol Poisoning.
Kids, toddlers, often taste everything,
it happens. But please call the Emergency
Room of your local hospital if you learn that
a child has eaten any hand sanitizer. It's so
alcohol concentrated that it only takes a few
licks of the stuff on a childs hands to possibly
cause a serious situation.





****SCAMMER ALERT****

Please be aware there is a Credit Card Scam going on!!!!!
People claim they are from Visa/MasterCard Security & Fraud Dept..
THEY NEVER ASK YOU YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!!!!!
They seem to be just confirming your information.
They Are After The 3 Digit Code On The Back Of Your Card!!!!
As if it isn't upsetting enough that they already know
your name & address, and they put you at ease by
never asking you for any information, they say they
are calling to protect you from fraudulent charges they
say are on your account. But, by giving them that 3 digit
number on the back of your card....they can now use your
card to make ONLINE purchases because most online stores
require you to provide that 3 digit security code.
If you have received such a call, call your card company immediately.
It is Much more difficult to dispute charges if they have provided
your 3 digit security code!!!









Have any photos you'd like to share?
This is a place for all of us to share about our lives. Vacations, Weddings, Births, ~gulp~ Grandchildren & More Travel Photos.
Please e-mail your photos or information to Knights Webmaster - Webmaster@ProspectKnights75.org.
 
Looking for our Class List?
This is the place to share your e-mail address .....
See our Class List & locate old friends.
See post Reunion additions :)
Thanks to all of you who filled out the card on your table. For those of you who didn't...it's never too late..
Not sure what happened to our hit counter.....
we were up to 23,000+....bummer!!
