Security Awareness Alert - December
December is upon us and the holidays are here! This time is well known for good food, spending time with loved ones, and snazzy gifts. Did you know that cybercriminals love Christmas too? Seriously, it really is their favorite season. During the holidays we're all shopping on new sites, receiving all kinds of promotional emails, and seeing advertisements pop-up everywhere we look online. For cybercriminals, this creates the perfect environment to take advantage of regular folks like us. I don't know about you, but a cyberattack is a present that is best left unwrapped! Take 3 minutes this holiday season to protect yourself and your crew. You'll be smarter and safer in minutes!

Congratulations to Mena High School Sophomore CLAIRE WALSTON !
5th place individual in the National 4-H Workout Contest. The contest was offered as a collaborative effort between Livestockjudging.com and 4-H. It consisted of 11 classes of various livestock species that competed in the North American International Livestock Expedition in Louisville, Kentucky earlier this month. Classes of livestock were video-taped during the show and then posted online for 4-H youth from all over the United States to judge and place in a virtual judging contest. Claire is the daughter of Matt and Heather Walston and is a member of the Hatfield 4-H Green Team.
