It was brought to my attention yesterday that a few members received a text message similar to the one below. It is not me texting you. As most of you know by now, that's not how I would traditionally text any of you. If you receive this text or any text that says it's from me and you're questioning it, please don't hesitate to actually call me at the office or even on my cell number. I haven't changed my number and I don't need any favors 😊

If you receive a message like this, please forward it to 7726 and it should ask you for the number that the spam text texted you from. Just reply with that number. If you have any questions about how to do that, please reach out to Steve Massey. He was kind enough to share this information with me. Thank you Steve!

Have a great weekend!
