YOUNG AT HEART - Mother's Day Celebration 
Come help us celebrate a very important holiday for all of us - Mother’s Day!  Let’s
honor, first of all, our Blessed Mother Mary, and all mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, or those who are like a Mother to us.  Come join us on
Wednesday, May 11 at St. Martha’s Family Life Center for our
Mother’s Day celebration.  Bingo begins at 11 am, followed by lunch and
fellowship that ends at 1:30 pm.  This luncheon will be our last one before the summer break.  We will begin again in September.  If you are new to our community or have
never been, try us out.  Bring a friend and join the fun!  If transportation is
needed, contact Domenica Seitz at 713 899-1016.  If you have any
questions, please call Nancy Karpinski, 713 594-4430.

Senior Education: Email and Phone scams (Phishing)

• Are you receiving a lot of authentic-looking emails from banks or on-line service accounts (e.g., Amazon, Pay Pal)? They typically indicate that your account has been locked due to suspicious activity; they want you to respond by giving them information to “unlock” your account. If you hover your cursor over the sender e-mail, it might read something like Chase@johntsmith.com
Notice that the sender’s email address often contains a personal name. The banks or personal services will NEVER send you emails like this. The sender is fishing (spelled phishing) to try to get you to “bite”. Immediately delete or block them in your junk mail response option.   

• The Better Business Bureau Education Foundation can provide your seniors with education on scams, identity theft, and fraud protection/complaints with businesses. To schedule a virtual or in-person education on fraud/scam protection for your seniors, call 713-341-6184.

• The Texas Senior Medicare Patrol can also help with Medicare fraud education and reporting fraud complaints with Medicare vendors.        The Texas Senior Medicare Patrol has a new website https://link.edgepilot.com/s/7907162f/D3XjUrrxKU2vdmpX-mhwUA?u=https://texassmp.org/ for education on Medicare fraud and scams.   To schedule Medicare fraud education or to report a Medicare scam or possible fraud call 1-888-341-6187.
