Score big with post-holiday sales

Are you already thinking about what you are going to do this Saturday, the day after Christmas? I know that I am! My mom and I are going to hit the stores for some after holidays shopping. I always stock up on wrapping paper for next year, but this year there may be some extra opportunities for savings. This is a great way to get a head start on savings for the New Year. These great after holiday shopping tips may help.

Beware of Phishing Scam

One of our members received an email suggesting that their Hawthorne Visa Credit Card may have been compromised. The email is a phishing scam that takes you to a website asking for your personal information. Please remember that we would never ask for your personal information because we already have your information.

One way you can tell if it's a scam is if you hold your mouse over the link you will see where the link goes. If the link looks suspicious, it probably is. We have a company that monitors suspcious activity on our members' Visa accounts. The company's name is Falcon Fraud. If they suspect fraud, the company would warm your account until they could reach you by phone, not email, to verify the transactions.

Please always be on your guard with personal information!

Little Friends Giving Tree 2009

We did it again! Every year for at least ten years, Hawthorne employees have dug deep into their Holiday budgets and made some room for gifts for developmentally disabled adults and children in the Naperville area. We bought and wrapped gifts and gift cards for the folks on gift tags that were hung on our Holiday Giving Tree. Thanks everyone!
