How to Host a Deck Party Guide
Cottage Room Rental
The CCA is offering the use of the cottage’s main room to rent
for small gatherings. It will be available to all members in good standing
of the Coldspring community.
A charge of $25.00 is asked to help defray
the cost of improvements made to the cottage.
Please contact Nancy Havranek at 410 - 664 – 6341
during CCA office
hours to discuss availability.
Shop online conveniently, safely
Shopping online is convenient, but even experienced shoppers might not
know the
ins and outs of safety. Some good advice:
* Use a credit card, not a debit card. If a criminal steals your debit card number, your bank account could be cleaned out, causing you trouble and expense. Though most debit and credit cards have fraud protection, many won't pay your overdraft charges at the bank.
* For extra fraud protection, sign up for Master Card's SecureCode (mastercard.com/secureded/faq.do) or Visa's Verified by Visa (usa.visa.com/personal/security/vbv/index.html). These are password challenge programs for online shopping. Participating stores will request your password.
* Get an email shopping address. Create a new address just for shopping. Add "buy," or "shopping" to your current email for use at online stores. If your email address is joeblo@hotmail.com, your new one could be joebloshopping@hotmail.com. Sites that offer free email include Hotmail (msn.com), Yahoo (mail.yahoo.com) and Netscape (netscape.com). Most cable Internet providers offer subscribers the option of creating more than one email address.
One advantage to the shopping address: Your in box will not be filled with ads and special offers from every store where you make a purchase. Their ads will go to your shopping address where you can easily check them out and delete them, say experts writing for Gannett News Service.
A disposable email address is another option. Free services let you create a temporary address. They forward mail from that address to your real one. Check spamgourmet.com, which is one free service.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
