Time to Go!
I just wanted to take a moment and say goodbye to everyone. As many of you know, I am moving to Brevard, NC. Well, the time has come for me to go!
The moving van will be here this morning to pack up the furniture. Mom and I will close on our new house on Wednesday, August 28th, and will move in (2 Retrievers and 1 “Pound Puppy” in tow) on the 29th.
I will continue to be associated with NEFHRC, working on the web site, and hope that I hear from you all about how great everyone is doing. I’ve had the best time being associated with all of you and your four-legged friends!
Sherri, my friend, I will miss you terribly. But, I know I will see you again – I expect my next puppy to be personally delivered to the mountains! LOL! In the meantime, just imagine the slurpy kisses Cody will greet you with (not to mention the lethal tail wag)!!
You can always contact me via e-mail at karen@karenvandonsel.com.
Always, For the Dogs!

Word of Warning!
I have yet again received an e-mail purportedly from the IRS regarding my “refund report”. The e-mail contains an attachment in compressed (i.e., zip) format.
I would like to warn everyone that the IRS never – and I mean never – initiates contact with taxpayers through e-mail. Unless you are working/dealing with a specific IRS employee and are expecting an e-mail from that specific person, do not open any e-mail purportedly from the IRS. These are scams that are trying to secure personal identification information in order to steal identities.
Instead, forward the e-mail to the IRS Fraud Desk at phishing@irs.gov. Please take care to protect your identity.
