Do you know someone who tirelessly gives of themselves?  Is there someone you know who is always there when anyone needs them?  Are they involved in homeowner association committees?  Do they volunteer for one or more of the many organizations located in our community?  Maybe they were instrumental in a specific initiative within your community. We’d like to know about them!

In this world of technology, everyone needs to be aware of possible danger.

If you’ve ever lost your luggage, you've probably wished there was some way you could track it without having to rely on the airlines to find it for you. Apple Air Tags have made this possible. These small devices can be inserted into your luggage, and through Bluetooth technology, they send a signal to the Cloud allowing you through your “Find My” network on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to see the location of your missing luggage. Air Tags are light and portable giving them the potential to be helpful, but they are also misused by criminals.

There are reports of Air Tags being dropped in a person’s purse, backpack, gym bag, or even cars, enabling criminals to track the person back to their home. Ladies, check your bags after a night out. For Apple device users, Apple has created a system to warn you if you are being tracked by an Air Tag not associated with you. After a day, you will receive a notification on your Apple device about an unknown Air Tag in the vicinity. If you are unable to find it, the Air Tag will begin chiming to assist you in finding it.

For more information, check out Apple’s Newsroom.
