Diana Ratliff, owner-operator of SavvyOnlineShopper, told members about the potential risks and benefits of online shopping. Although many fear fraud and security breaches, she said that there is generally a lower risk to shopping online than people think, if they carefully research the sites they're interested in. She is not suggesting that people not shop locally at brick-and-mortar establishments, but people can find deals and comparison shopping online that is not available elsewhere. You can order Diana's book, "The Insider's Guide to Shopping Online," diretly from her.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We're looking for volunteers who would like to take notes at meetings for this weekly newsletter--no more than 4-5 times a year (preferably for one full month).
