On the Horizon
By Carol McDaniel,
Membership Coordinator
I don’t know about you, but I’m really ready for Spring!!
With record-setting snowfalls and lingering cold temperatures,
it’s time to shift gears and think about getting out and having
some fun in March. We will be hunting for signs of Spring on our
March trip as we visit several businesses around Shelbyville.
And, we will be playing trivial pursuit as we go.
At each of the stops the person in charge will have a trivia
question for us regarding his/ her business. If you are the
first to answer the question correctly, you win a prize! We will
have time to shop or browse at each stop. Of course, we will eat
lunch before returning to The Horizon Center.
A word about the Writing Humor workshops coming up this
month: Mark Steenbarger, workshop leader, is possibly one of the
best local performers and directors I have known. He is a
natural-born funny guy who inspires others to produce their best
work. If you would love to write and want to learn how to write
humor, this is your chance to have fun while you learn.
Our Facebook 101 class is March 10 at the Shelbyville-Shelby
County Library Conference room, and it will be taught by
well-known community leader/photographer Jeff Sponsel. There
have been a lot of requests for this class and we have limited
space, so sign up today….it’s FREE!
And, jumping ahead to May, the Chicago trip is a definite
GO!!!! Reservations are still coming in, and I have permission
from Diamond Tours to take reservations until 2 weeks before May
11, the day we leave! Remember, March 9 is the day the final
payment is due for those already signed up. Of course, after
March 9, full payment of $265 per person will be required to
guarantee your spot. Six weeks before May 11, I will be informed
of definite details of the itinerary and lodging. As soon as I
know, I will have an informational meeting at The Horizon Center
for everyone going on the trip.
Detailed flyers about the trip are available at Shelby Senior
Services, Inc., 1504 S. Harrison St. Stop by for a copy, or give
us a call, 398-0127.
Check The Horizons for details about dates, times and cost,
if any, of the activities, workshops and trips scheduled for The
Horizon Center. We are working hard to set up great trips and
activities for the next few months.
Special thanks to all the volunteers and Karen Cruz,
activities coordinator, for their hard work cleaning and
organizing the kitchen cabinets in The Horizon Center. This work
was done as part of Disney’s Give a Day, Get a Day program to
earn a free admission ticket to a Disney park.

Identity Theft Prevention Tips
Do not sign the
back of credit cards. Instead put “PHOTO ID REQUIRED”.
When you are
writing checks to pay on your credit accounts, DO NOT put the
complete account number in the “For” line. Instead, just put the
last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the
number, and anyone who might be handling the check as it passes
through all check processing channels won’t have access to it.
Put your work
phone on your checks instead of your home number. If you have a
PO Box, use that instead of your address. NEVER have a social
security number printed on your checks.
Place the contents
of your wallet on a copy machine. Do both sides of each license,
credit card etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and
all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.
Keep the photocopy in a safe place.
If credit cards
are lost or stolen, cancel immediately.
File a police
report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards
were stolen. This proves the credit providers you were diligent,
and this is a first step toward an investigation.
Call the three
national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a
fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud
line number.
Numbers:
Equifax:
1-800-525-6285
Experian:
