Fraud Watch Protection
Chichester Town Library
October 2nd, 2014
Marc Boyd, representing AARP, will be giving a fraud fighter
presentation on Thursday, October 2nd at 7:00 at the Chichester Town
Library. From their website, the “AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan
organization, with a membership of more than 37 million, that helps
people turn their goals and dreams into real possibilities,
strengthens communities and fights for the issues that matter most
to families such as healthcare, employment security and retirement
planning.”
Security breaches and the resulting fall-out, as well as other
schemes that result in identity theft, investment fraud and scams,
are robbing millions of Americans of their hard-earned money.
Every three seconds someone’s identity is stolen! This presentation
will help attendees learn more about these new challenges, the
trending types of fraud and related behavior here in New Hampshire
and will explain why AARP is launching the Fraud Watch Network to
give people the resources to spot and avoid identity theft and
fraud, so they can protect themselves and their families.
Don’t be a victim! Join us!

The Fraud Watch Network being launched by the AARP is the result of
their work to educate and involve the public in reducing identity
theft, phishing, scamming and other forms of fraud. There will be a
presentation on Thursday, October 2 at 7:00 p.m. at the Library
concerning this general subject. (Please see separate article for

The Library has purchased some new books for the enjoyment of all
ages. Included are Trauma Red: The Making of a Surgeon in War and
in America’s Cities, by Dr. Peter Ree with Gordon Dillow. This is
the life story of the trauma surgeon who helped save Congresswoman
Gabby Gifford’s life. Book Play: Creative Adventures in Handmade

interesting as the contents. Foodies will enjoy Microgreens: How to
Grow Nature’s Own Superfood by Fionna Hill, who provides guidance on
growing, harvesting and preparing twenty of the most popular
microgreens. Sweetie Pie: The Richard Simmons Private Collection
of Dazzling Desserts has the weight-watching, exercise guru looking
at desserts in a new way, addressing fat and sugar contents. More
and more people are finding out they have a sensitivity or
intolerance to gluten, which makes many desserts forbidden. The
Gluten-Free Gourmet Makes Dessert: More than 200 Wheat-Free Recipes
for Cakes, Cookies, Pies, and Other Sweets by Bette Hagman, the
leading expert in gluten-free cooking, gives us two hundred recipes
for delicious cakes, cookies, pies, and other desserts. Other books

The library is hosting a pumpkin decorating contest. The
decorated pumpkins will be judged and three winners (in under 5,
6-10, and 11 and up) will receive a coupon for a free golf game at

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee
The Attic now has two book areas! With the renovations being done
in the back of the store, we ended up with a little more space for
books. The ladies worked hard setting up shelving and moving books
that had lingered in bags, as we didn’t have the space to put them
out. Now we do! With a request, please do not bring old textbooks,
moldy or wet books or magazines to the Attic. Textbooks just do not
sell and the wet books can potentially damage good ones with mold.
We will continue with $1.00 a bag for all books through
September.Fall and Halloween items continue to appear on the
shelves.
We are on Rte 28, north of the Epsom Circle, Chichester-Mon. 8-12;
Tues. & Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 & Sat. 10-4. Remember, the last
Thursday of the month is 1/2 price day!
