Hello [fname],

In last month's issue, we gave some tips on how to have a successful Garage
Sale
. One of our readers sent us an email to let us know about the success she had for her Boy Scout Troop which was held at Wesley United Methodist Church in McKinney. They raised over $900!!!! Congratulations Judy, and thank you for sharing your story!

As Group Benefits Analyst and Special Projects Coordinator, I wear many different hats within the company. One of my tasks is to get Alkali up to speed with Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. While working on getting us all setup to go "social", I thought this was a great time to share what I have learned about making sure your Facebook account is secure. Take a moment and watch Part 1 and make sure your information is safe and secure.

In the meantime, if anyone would like to share their Garage Sale experience or would just like to send us a note, don't hesitate to send me an email.

Have a wonderful day!

Shelley Burke
Special Projects Coordinator

Burnett applied for an employment position with Stewart Title, received an employment offer contingent upon the results of a drug test and background check, and upon review of the background check, learned that Burnett had filed for bankruptcy and withdrew their offer solely on that basis.

The video of the month for May is a Fast Food Folk Song (at the Taco Bell Drive-Thru). What makes this so funny is the person taking the order had no idea they were coming. His reaction was totally authentic! Enjoy!
