Dear PoPville – How to be on the look out for identity theft?

“Dear PoPville,

Last Thursday, someone broke into my boyfriend’s apartment and made off with my laptop. Luckily, I have renter’s insurance and had just backed up my computer, so I will be able to replace the computer with little out of pocket pain and didn’t lose any of my data. And I already changed all my passwords, from online banking to gmail. However, my tax returns (complete with SSN) from the past several years are on the stolen computer and that’s why I’m asking for help.

Can you/lovely readers recommend anything I can do to be proactive about making sure no one is doing anything fishy with my social security number? I pulled my credit report right after it happened, so I have a snapshot of what my credit history looks like before any funny business happens but was hoping for some other proactive ways I could make sure I’ll be tipped off if anyone tries any funny business.

And yes, I’ll be sure to make those individual tax return documents password protected in the future.

Thanks!”

Anyone ever use a monitoring service?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
