APRIL MEETING APRIL 12TH

AMERY GOLF CLUB

MEMBER’S MEETINGS 5:30 PM – SOCIAL HOUR 6:30 PM – $15 DINNER

Amery Mask Mission Dear Amery Business Owner, AS AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THE PROMOTION OF AMERY BUSINESSES, the Amery Community Club would like to assist you in communicating to your customers that you are a safe place to visit.

We have been hearing from many residents that shopping safely in Amery has been very difficult, with the lack of support for the State Mask Mandate. These shoppers have looked to other communities, big box stores, online, and even the Twin Cities (where their mandate is being taken seriously) to do their shopping. If they are going elsewhere for something specific, the chances are that they are doing more shopping out of town, and that hurts us all. We would like all Amery businesses to come together with one loud, unified voice, and declare that Amery is a safe place to come and spend their money, especially during the critical holiday season.

In addition, Deb Rudquist, Amery Hospital and Clinic administrator, has shared her concern that we are reaching critical mass capacity.

We can all do our part to make Amery a safer place to live, work, play, and shop.

Join the Amery Mission WE HOPE THAT YOU WOULD ALL BE ON BOARD TO JOIN US IN OUR MISSION. If you are interested, please let us know, and we will send someone to install a 16” door sticker at your business for FREE. We will also provide your business with FREE masks for customers/guests/clients who do not have one.

We look forward to seeing you!

We live in challenging and uncertain times right now and we hope you have been successful in educating your staff on the importance of having a secure environment in place for employees working remotely - their safety and the safety of our communities is the number one concern.

Unfortunately, hackers do not share this same sentiment. Cyber criminals are taking advantage of the current state of affairs and our security partners are seeing a rise in spear phishing attempts, malware embedded PDFs, Word documents, and ransomware - all targeting unprotected remote users.

Here's a quick customer check list to make sure the right cybersecurity measures are in place for your remote users: 1. Do you have a secure VPN set up?

2. Do all your company issued devices have Anti-Virus/Endpoint protection?

3. Are your employees using personal laptops/desktops, and do they have AntiVirus/Endpoint protection?

4. Do your employees have the right email security solutions in place to handle advanced spear-phishing and credential compromise attacks?

Please contact us if you require help answering any questions regarding the security of your remote users.

Sincerely,

The staff at Connecting Point Inc. 216 Keller Ave. North Amery WI 54001 Phone: 715-268-8159 Online: www.4thepoint.com

Your colonoscopycan’t-wait partner Colon cancer screenings save lives. When found early, the five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer is about 90 percent. But less than half of colorectal cancers are found at this early stage. That’s why screenings are important. So, if you’re approaching age 50 or at higher risk – your colonoscopy really can’t wait.
