Protect Yourself from Census Scams
From the NLRPD:
NLR citizens be aware of possible census scams. Workers WILL NOT ask for your SSN, money, harass you, or email you.
The NLRPD is advising all citizens to be aware of a possible census scam and to protect their personal information. It is important to remember that there are distinct differences between a real census worker and an identity thief trying to fraudulently obtain your personal information. US Census workers will have identification but sometimes identification cards can be fabricated… So, it is VERY important to remember what Census workers will NOT do.
Census Workers WILL NOT
1. ask for your social security number of ANY type of financial information
2. ask for money or say that you owe money
3. harass or intimidate you
4. contact you by email.By remembering these simple guidelines the citizens of NLR will be able to protect themselves from anyone looking to target unsuspecting victims.

Scenic Hill Study
The Leadership Greater Little Rock class has selected Scenic Hill to study. They select 6 neighborhoods to study and ours is one of them. Their hope is to gain more knowledge about the area from meeting with the residents. There will be 3 of them at our November meeting. We would really like to have a good turnout for this meeting. Their goal is not to cause concern to our group, but just the opposite – to help us but they need our help to make that happen. Attached is a list of questions that may assist us in preparing for the meeting. We would really appreciate your feedback. You may comment on our website or better yet come to our meeting if at possible.
Update: Here is the list of questions to prepare for the meeting: Scenic Hill Assoc Questions
