President Chandra's Bulletin |
|
|
Hope you're enjoying the summer time here in Laguna Niguel. Growing up as a desert dweller, my family used to come here to South Orange County for a short summer vacation. It was like another world for us, - the beaches, the art festivals, the water activities. I could only hope to one day live in such a wonderful locale. Its hard to believe I've now been a twenty four year resident of this remarkable community. |
This past week, our meeting got off to a great start with our own John Veytia providing us with some humor and Jim McGinley providing an inspirational baseball story. Devi Pillai was back in town and wished us all well. Our speaker, Gregory Taylor gave an informative presentation about "imposter fraud". This goes much further than just the usual phishing emails that attempt to impersonate our banks, shipping services, Amazon, Paypal, Netflix and other services that we regularly use. |
He provided several examples of how companies can be infiltrated by a hacker impersonating a long time company supplier when it comes time to pay a supplier invoice. The hackers usually setup another bank account to have the company wire their invoice payment funds to. It was definitely a cautionary tale to always verify email addresses, bank account numbers, etc. before allowing funds to exchange hands. If you were unable to attend, you can view his presentation by clicking on the "Anatomy of Two Crimes" photo.

Coming up this week, we have our Club Transition Dinner on Saturday, July 16th at Mark Montgomery's home. This is always a memorable event as we thank President Eileen and her outgoing 2021 - 2022 Board and welcome in my 2022-23 Board. If you are a member of the incoming or outgoing board, please do attend. Awards for recognition of service as well as new pins and badges, are presented and given out. We wouldn't want any of our Rotarians to miss out on hearing the presentation comments about themselves with their award to let everyone know they are very much appreciated.
Don't forget to send Madame Past President Kim Douglas any stories and or quirky experiences regarding our dear, outgoing President Eileen Gomez for her roasting at the dinner.
Later in July, our new District Governor, Dan Ouweleen, will be visiting our club to give his presentation on the District level plans for this 2022 - 2023 term.
