SCAFP News January 2007 |
From the Corner Office
Happy New Year!
Dear fellow SCAFP members, the Board of Directors and I would like to wish you a very prosperous 2007. As we begin this New Year, we hope that all of you have mailed in your annual membership renewals. Your non-profit association survives on our two revenue sources. The first being annual membership dues and the second is our annual Expo LA. Please help us with our budgeting by renewing early.
Your dues enable us to put on timely monthly meetings with quality speakers. We don't just want your money, we want YOU to attend as many monthly meetings as possible. All speakers want to know how many members attend our monthly meetings, so your attendance is vital in our ability to attract quality speakers.
Please also mark your calendars for Expo LA on May 10th and 11th at the Pasadena Convention Center. We are lining up some great sessions. We look forward to your attendance. Bring an associate and share the learning experience. Earn CTP credits and network with your fellow Treasury professionals.
MAY 2007 BE A GREAT YEAR FOR YOU.

YOU BET YOUR CASH TRIVIA GAME |

Congratulations A great time was had by all at the 19th Annual "You Bet Your Cash 2006" trivia game. The competition was strong between the seven tables, and the "lightening" round where you can bet all or none of your cash for the final question determined the winners. Each player at table six received a scrumptious Ghirardelli gift basket Winners of the 19th Annual "You Bet Your Cash 2006" game:
Daniel Wong Thank you so much to
those who brought a new, unwrapped toy to our December 8, 2006 You Bet Your Cash
meeting. We collected 26 great toys that were delivered to Toys for Tots for
distribution to disadvantaged children during the holiday season. Our 2006 toy
drive was our 3rd annual Toys for Tots collection. When you think about it, You
Bet Your Cash is the perfect meeting to collect toys for children in need: we
all walk away from the December meeting with at least a tote bag of gifts, so
it's a way of
We were happy to welcome back our Master of Ceremonies for the past 18 years: Bill Luehrmann from Occidental Petroleum, shown here with his wife Phyllis. | ||

PERSONAL FINANCE CORNER |

Start the year off right - did
you know that you're entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report every
year from each of the three credit bureaus? Many people never or seldom even
look at their credit report until they apply for a loan or credit card or have
been denied one. It could then be too late - inaccurate or missing information
could prevent you from getting the loan you want (with that great low rate!) or
delay you when timing is of the essence, such as in the purchase of a new home.
You could also be denied insurance or a job opportunity based on the lack of
financial responsibility shown in your erroneous credit report.
Experts recommend that you obtain a credit report and review it every four months to help thwart identity theft - it's one of the easiest things you can do! Call 877-322-8228 or visit the https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp website to request a free copy of your credit file disclosure from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion (or contact each one directly). For a nominal charge, you'll also be able to retrieve your credit score. Other simple things you can do to prevent identity theft:
