Subject: Haiti needs our help
Good Afternoon Mr. Jefferson, Below you will find a e-mail I received from Dr. Randy Vaughn. I don't have the phone numbers nor e-mail addresses to all the pastors in the Berean District so I need your help. Dr. Vaughn along with our National President Dr. Scruggs, and our State President Dr. Jimmy Brown are calling on all the pastors that make up this Great Convention to come together and support the victims in Haiti. A web-page have been established for their donations at "nationalbaptistconventionusa.com", they can make their contributions online or they can give them to Dr. Jimmy Brown or if they are going to the Winter Board Meeting they can take it with them. Make all checks out to the National Baptist Convention USA, and in the memo section notate The State Of Missouri so they will know that Missouri did our part. Thank you for your help.

Director Disaster Management

Greetings,
Again, we find ourselves before news screens watching the devastation of the earthquake in Haiti. Our hearts and prayers go out to our Haitian brothers and sisters. I have been doing mission work in Haiti for the past 16 years with many contacts. AS of now I have no report of their well being. Please join me in praying for them.
NBC, USA has set up a web page giving direction of how to give. Our president, Dr. Scruggs, has set up these measures with our assistance and it is our hope that national baptist will respond as they will do.
As state coordinator, working with your state president, please notify the people of your respective state that they can go on line and make donations for this needed cause.\
Thank you
Randy G. Vaughn, Director
Office of Disaster Management

2010 Census Cautions
WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the Better Business Bureau
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johns
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S.Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.
** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information.
Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS..
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION. ..
No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
