Beware of a Netflix Email Scam

11/19/2018

Picture
A new scam came my way this morning supposedly from Support at Netflix saying there is a billing problem with my account. (I do not subscribe to Netflix)

An examination of the email indicates that it originated in Europe and asks me to click on a link to update my billing information.

This is a scam… I suggest that should you receive such an email that you immediately delete it without opening it.

Please pass the word around to your networks to let others know.

-Submited by George, thank you.

Better at Home Volunteers Celebrate Successes

This past July, South Vancouver Neighbourhood Houses Better at Home volunteers met for a luncheon at a local Victoria drive restaurant to celebrate their achievements.

Since its inception in 2014, Vancouver South Better at Home has provided over 1700 volunteer driven rides for seniors with mobility challenges, and nearly 500 friendly visits to folks looking for companionship.

These services have been provided by dedicated volunteers offering their time to support older adults and help build a better community. All those who attended were excited to meet other volunteers with the program and share their experiences as drivers and friendly visitors.

Better at Home aims to ease the challenges of independent living for older adults by providing non-medical home supports. It is funded by the Government of B.C. and managed by the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

For program information or to become a volunteer contact Jeannie Furmanek by email at: Jeannie@southvan.org 
or by phone at 604-324-6212

Seniors and older adults are essential to helping ONE TO ONE engage book lovers with our summer program:

We are looking for volunteer tutors in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster and Coquitlam.

For nearly 30 years, ONE TO ONE Literacy Society has been helping struggling young readers in Vancouver-area public schools with the opportunity to practice reading with a caring, patient adult. 

We know that this time spent with students directly impacts the student’s confidence and their chance of succeeding academically and in life.


Do you have 2 – 3 hours a week during school hours to work one-on-one with students?  Our volunteer tutors read once a week, either in the mornings or afternoons, at a specific school, from October to June. You will be developing a relationship with the students that will help them bloom into successful readers.

You must be 18 years old, be proficient in English and/or French and complete a criminal background check. 

We will provide you with training and ongoing support. Training sessions for  new volunteers will be held in September 2018.

Register now in three easy steps by visiting www.one-to-one.ca/volunteer
