Target Warning

Warning to everyone who went on the latest Target outing:
Target has said 40 million credit and debit card accounts were stolen as part of a breach that began over the Thanksgiving weekend.

"The chain said customers who made purchases by swiping their cards at terminals in its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have had their accounts exposed. The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit security codes located on the backs of cards.

The stolen information included Target store brand cards and major card brands such as Visa and MasterCard." -9news.com

 

Please check your accounts if you have purchased anything at Target during those dates. 

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!

Over the past several years the Highland Baptist Church has greatly supported our client’s Christmas wishes.  This year they recruited the help of another organization, but unfortunately KADEP just found out the church had 43 clients who did not get adopted. 

We are reaching out to our community of friends, family and co-workers to see if you can help.  Each client has given us a wish that is no more than $20.00. 

We would be glad to provide you with a client and their wish to adopt and or due to the short notice of this request any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated.  We need approximately $550.00 to make this happen.  Great time of year for a tax donation credit!  Sorry for the short notice.  We hope to have the gifts delivered to all of clients by next Friday the 27^th.

Please contact Adriana at 303-433-6887 to get specific details on how you can help!  Please feel free to forward this on to anyone you feel will be able to help!

Thank you in advance for your continued support!

Everyone wrote what they were thankful for on a feather

Thanks for all the clients attended, the volunteers who helped, and the staff for their hard work.

Please anything helps. Thank you!

Target Sign-Up

For the Target outing on Nov 26th and Dec 10th there is now a sign-up sheet for tie-down spots. Adding your name to the list does not automatically mean you will be going on the outing. Instead, this will add your name into a lottery drawing. The 10 tie-down spots, per outing, will be drawn from a hat. This is the fairest way we can assign spots.

Other please be willing to transfer on the outing so we can fit as many people as possible.

Thank you,

Any questions or concerns please contact Kyle 303-433-6887 ext 129
