I was fortunate to spend a week in Salem at Willamette University for the Association of NW Weavers’ Guilds conference. Workshops, lectures, vendors, fashion shows, and lots of fun. We had a great showing of our local guild members. Many of you know that I’m a weaver/spinner/knitter in my spare time. This week away fed my soul. If you’d like to know more about weaving and spinning locally, The Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild would love to talk to you.  Just ask me!

   And this past weekend, on June 12, I co-chaired and participated in the 3rd Annual Fore the Furrballs golf tournament benefiting the South Pacific County Humane Society. This wonderful no-kill shelter receives no public funds and relies on the generous support of caring people and businesses.  And we were overwhelmed with the generosity this year!  Thank you to everyone who donated, participated and volunteered.  A special thank you to Peninsula Golf Course and managers Jim & Sondra Eaton.

What else?  Oh, real estate!  I hope everyone visits Discovery Coast Real Estate often because there are new listings every day!  You can check the most recent listings and browse listings for the entire state.  You don’t need to register but if you do, you can receive email updates, save your searches and just have lots of fun. 

If you’re looking for a screaming deal, we just reduced the price on 13 lots in Surfside.  Two groups of contiguous lots (6 in one group, 7 in the other) zoned Multi-Family & Commercial. Surfside is close to all the amenities of the big city, but a peaceful haven for residents. Build townhomes, condos, or single family residences. There is a potential for partial ocean views from some lots. The golf course is steps away and it’s a short, easy walk to the ocean.  Developers – now’s the time!

So much to do coming up that I can’t hope to keep you posted.  Please visit Funbeach for all the exciting news!

BBB recommends not trusting text messages that discuss finances. Lake Oswego, OR — Feb. 18, 2009 — Your Better Business Bureau has received recent inquiries showing that con artists are using text messages to attempt to scam financial-institution customers. Scam examples: – Washington and Oregon consumers called your BBB saying they received the following scam text message: “Application Center / This is an automated message from Cullman Savings Bank. Your ATM card has been suspended. To reactivate call urgent at 1-888-873-9356.” Cullman Savings Bank Web site says they “do not use e-mail, text messaging or telephone calls to verify personal or account information.” – Alaska consumers called your BBB and Alaska State Troopers sent out a press release warning that text messages were being sent that falsely informed consumers their Credit Union One account had been suspended. It directed mobile phone owners to call the bank at 870-345-4202, or visit 8705874360@cu1.org to resolve the problem. Credit Union One will never send consumers a text message or e-mail to verify account information. Smishing: Such scams – where consumers are contacted through a text message in hopes of swiping their personal information – are known as smishing. Your BBB advises the following to avoid smishing scams: – Assume unsolicited text messages are fraudulent. – Know your financial institutions’ communication policies. These can be found on the Web site or by calling the customer service line. Financial institutions will never contact you for personal or account information via text message or e-mail. – If you receive an unsolicited message supposedly from a financial institution, contact the business at the number you know is valid – not the number in the unsolicited message. Check the legitimacy of the message in this way. Never reply back, click on links or visit Web sites from unsolicited messages. – Consumers can also report unsolicited text messages to their phone service provider. – If you discover you have provided financial account information to a scam artist, contact the financial institution immediately. If you had money stolen from the account, file a police report and place a fraud alert with the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, 800-525-6285; Experian, 888-397-3742; and TransUnion, 800-680-7289.
