QUEENS: WHEN SUBMITTING MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL...
Melanie has asked that it be stressed to all Queens the importance that when they send their forms that ALL NEW or CHANGED INFORMATION BE HIGHLIGHTED OR UNDERLINED IN RED the way it says to in the box beside where it says "PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS"
To double check the accuracy of every email, address and phone number is EXTREMELY time consuming. We looks only for changes. ALL MEMBERS:
When you receive your confirmation, it's YOUR responsibility to please ensure we have your correct email addresses. Regarding your postal address - we have sent packages recently to several members who've not received them because we had the incorrect information for them in our data base. We are not responsible for extra costs that may be incurred if you haven't advised us what your new mailing address is and you've ordered something, i.e. pins. We need your help on this. Thank you!

REPORT FROM MANITOBA
A Royal Court was held in Winnipeg on October 22 and was attended by queens and vice queens from many areas of Manitoba, as well as Debbie Lamb from Ontario.
The ladies voted to rename the group to "Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Regional Royal Court."
There was a short business meeting, lunch and then everyone was entertained by Irene Sigaliki, a local musician.
The Royal Court discussed plans for upcoming events and future Royal Courts.
A few photos have been posted on the Facebook Royal Court page.

Safety with your Email
Today I received - in just one day - 73 pieces of junk mail. Sadly, many were sent from our members computers. Please, change your password now if you've heard people say you are sending them spam and I just hope your friends don't click on the link in your email!!!
I know that Canada Revenue isn't going to send me a refund via an email/internet transfer/ That I didn't win a million dollars/ That there is no such thing as Bill Gates or anyone else "giving" anything away/ etc. Do you? If an email is not from someone you know, please don't open it. But, I also receive many emails supposedly from our members and inside is a link. When I look at the return address it's sometimes actually showing it's from that member, or a strange email address. Regardless, I do not open it and neither should you. If you want to send a link to someone please include a personal note (Lynda I think you might want to review this as it's about...) but I still won't click on that link. Always open your browser and try to enter the information that way. Also send a second email to tell them you've just sent them a link and that it's safe to open.
The most recent trick is that you may get a pop-up telling you to upgrade your Adobe Flash - but don't click on it. Go directly to the Adobe site and search for updates on their site where it's safe.
It's sickening how many people work to destroy our coputers and cot us money in repairs. Please be safe!

It's hard to be a woman...You must think like a man, Act like a lady,

Live your life, take chances,Be crazy, don't wait...Because right now is the oldest you've ever been,and the youngest you'll ever be again!
