Never, Never, Never!

It seems like everyday, our members and friends receive fake, bogus emails!  Many requests are for money payments or gift cards.  Dr. Kevin Torosian is now our past state president.  He has asked us to post information reminding you that our CASCWA organization never asks for money, gift cards or any thing that has the scent of a bogus fake transaction.  If you receive one, please forward it to your state president at rdriegs@gmail.com.
