KI Store Hit by Hackers

Almost daily, stories about credit card fraud and large corporate security breaches headline the news. Without question, these crimes are on the rise and criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Kiwanis International recently became victim to such a crime when we learned of an unauthorized intrusion into its Kiwanis Family Store Web site and related database, hosted by a third-party provider. The perpetrator gathered credit card information and shipping addresses by illegally accessing our system through the Internet. more

Charlottesville Kiwanians Refurbish Offices for Piedmont CASA
by Jim Hart

A dozen Kiwanians and one AHS Key Clubber completed a painting blitz of the conference rooms and reception areas of Piedmont CASA located on the third floor of an historic building just off Court Square in downtown Charlottesville. "We chose the colors we did to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for staff, volunteers, and clients who use these spaces daily in their important work," said Ruth Stone CASA's executive director, whose husband, John, joined in the excitement. CASA is an organization that trains Court Appointed Special Advocates, who work one-on-one with abused and endangered children to assist the courts in determining the best environment to ensure each child's safety and well-being. "Volunteer court advocates may be the only voice that can truly speak for these children," explained Stone, "and the work Kiwanis did in transforming the feel of our offices was truly amazing." The project was organized by Work Night Chair Lynn Seuffert, who made sure the Kiwanians found the location, brought adequate supplies, and were fed properly after the work was completed. The next work night is scheduled for Monday night, February 25, and will take place at The Habitat Store on Harris Street. It will be another painting extravaganza and all Kiwanians and K-Family members are urged to volunteer.
