Subject: 4-29-22 Alert Notification from: Dominican Village, Inc.
Good Morning. This is Albert Belcher, Security & Safety Director for Dominican Village with a safety message:
As you know, scammers remain to be a threat to all of us, but our Seniors are the perfect targets.
Seniors typically have more money, they are less likely to report a fraud, and memory loss are traits scammers love to exploit. Scammers can take any situation and use it to benefit themselves. COVID 19, Social Security, the IRS, and Medicare have been and will continue to be exploited by scammers to steal your information and money. It is, for this reason, we suggest that you do at least a quarterly review of your bank statements or any bank accounts you may monitor for a family member to make sure there is no suspicious activity.
Thank you and continue to remain safe.

A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER
On Thursday, March 30th, it was a chilly evening for our first BINGO night, but inside Helen Butler Hall, the thought of winning some cash warmed everyone up (or it may have been the wine)! The doors opened at 6pm but, like all good bingo regulars, people were waiting at the door, ready to grab a seat and snacks while they were waiting to dab their books. Every table was full, to capacity. There were raffles, auction baskets, and just good cheer. All that before the BINGO had even started! Due to the overwhelming response, another Bingo Night is sure to be coming soon. Thank you to all who participated!
Dominican Village would like to acknowledge and thank all those who sponsored and supported our BINGO Event!
