We have had several successes despite all the challenges faced by ourindustry. I hope everyone can find something to be thankful for during this season and make sureyou voice that thanks. It is also a time to think of others who do not have as much to be thankful forand Jennifer Taylor our Public Relations Chair is working on putting together a public service projectfor us to bring goodness and light to others.

I am very excited about our upcoming meetings- and the one this month is a great time to bring yourboss. We need to show the value of NAIW to our employers to continue to get their support andletting them see our meetings are not just about us, that we learn things we can utilize in our officesis a great way to get that support! As, always other guests are welcome too!

Look forward to seeing you ALL on Tuesday!

Watch out for fake North Carolina prize offersSome consumers have recently gotten mailings that claim theyve won a prize from theState of North Carolina Commissioners of Registration. To claim their prize, consumersare told to sign the form and return it along with a payment of $20.

The mailings look official and include a fake state seal, but the promised prizes dontexist, and there is no state agency called the Commissioners of Registration. If you

receive a similar mailing, do not reply to it or send any money. Its illegal to requireconsumers to pay any fee to win a prize, and money sent to scammers is usually difficultor impossible to recover. Responding to one type of scam also puts you at greater riskfor becoming the target of other scammers.Attorney General Roy Coopers Consumer Protection Division is currently investigatingthese mailings. If youve responded to a prize notice like this one, contact us forassistance at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM. For more information on how to protect yourselfincluding tips on prize scams, visit us at www.ncdoj.gov.

Old Business-Pecans Per Jeanne, it had been asked if we were going to donate part of the proceedsto a charity. Discussion concerning Susan G. Komen, the American Heart Associationand Juvenile Diabetes concluded that once the total profits were announced for thepecans, the amount and charity would then be chosen.

New Business -President Bryant reported that Pam Grimes who is on the Board for the Brantley Centerat ASU is asking for donations for the Endowment Fund as income to pay thescholarships is way down. It was suggested that money be used from the Region IIaccount since it was Education. Jeanne Hess made a motion to send $1,000 to the ASUBrantley Center for the Scholarships. After discussion concerning the Region II account,it was decided that we needed to make sure that we could use it for that. Jeanne Hesswithdrew the motion until it could be confirmed that it was allowed to use it for ASU andnot just NAIW educational projects.
