Tri-Lakes TCRC is offering a FREE mini seminar- Protecting yourself from Identity Theft

According to the Federal Trade Commission, “Identity theft is a serious crime. It occurs when your personal information is stolen and used without your knowledge to commit fraud or other crimes. Identity theft can cost you time and money. It can destroy your credit and ruin your good name.”

In this one hour seminar, which includes handouts from the Federal Trade Commission, you will learn how to:

DETECT suspicious activity by routinely monitoring your financial accounts and billing statements;
DETER identity thieves by safeguarding your information; and
DEFEND against ID theft as soon as you suspect it.

We are providing this mini seminar at no charge as an opportunity to offer critical information to the community that will educate and assist our citizens to possibly avoid identity theft.

Seating is limited, so pre-registration is required. Handouts and refreshments are included. Please call the Tri-Lakes TCRC at 417-272-8707 for more information or to register. The Tri-Lakes TCRC is a partnership between the Reeds Spring R-IV School District, Skaggs Regional Health Center and the University of Missouri Extension.

Our Next FREE Event- Create a Resume with Microsoft Word

Have you used any of the templates available in Microsoft Word? Word has many built in, including templates for award certificates, business cards, expense reports, flyers, gift certificates, greeting cards, invoices and newsletters and resumes. Bring your information and we will help you use one of these templates to create your resume. You can bring a flash pen drive to save it on or you can email it to yourself. This session will teach you the basics of using Word templates and a little bit about using the new “ribbon” in Word 2007.
