A reminder to our high school seniors that the Los Alamos Foundation sponsors three college scholarships. The Daniel B Dingman Scholarship for Peace & Justice and the Frances C Dingman Scholarship for the Creative Arts are open to students attending Orcutt Academy, Righetti High School, St. Joseph High School, or a student who lives in Los Alamos but goes to school elsewhere. These are both $1,000 scholarships.

We are also proud to offer two Entrepreneurial Scholarships that are sponsored by Sonja Magdevski of Casa Dumetz for 2 years! These two $1,000 scholarships are open only to Los Alamos seniors or first year college students.

¡ALERTA DE ESTAFA DE VIVIENDA!

¡Los estudiantes universitarios que buscan apartamentos estén atentos a las estafas! Hay una persona que usa el nombre de Marcia Nancy King y anuncia alquileres de apartamentos para estudiantes e inquilinos a corto plazo. ¡Esta persona quiere robarte tu dinero! Protéjase de perder una cantidad significativa de dinero:
Sospeche de cualquier persona que le pida dinero para alquilar un sitio sin ver. ¡Un video no es prueba de legitimidad!
¡No envíe dinero mediante transferencia bancaria a nadie! El dinero enviado por transferencia bancaria no es reembolsable por su banco.
Examine cuidadosamente cualquier papeleo que le envíen. Marcia Nancy King envía una fotocopia de una licencia de conducir que ha sido retocada.
No firme ningún contrato de alquiler ni envíe dinero hasta que haya visto la propiedad en persona y tenga las llaves en la mano.
Marcia Nancy King intentará cancelar su contrato y le pedirá su información bancaria para transferir un reembolso. ¡Esta es una estafa para obtener acceso a su cuenta bancaria! ¡No le des los datos de tu cuenta a nadie!
Use sus habilidades de detective en Internet para verificar nombres, direcciones de propiedades y propietarios. ¡Los recursos están ahí!

Si ya ha sido atacado por esta estafa, presente un informe policial y repórtelo a su banco. Estas estafas funcionan porque a las víctimas les da vergüenza presentar denuncias. Su banco puede colocar banderas en los nombres de los estafadores que permitirán que los cajeros del banco adviertan a otros antes de que ellos también pierdan dinero. ¡Sea un buen vecino y denuncie a estos ladrones!

HOUSING SCAM ALERT!

College students looking for apartments be on the lookout for scams! There is a person using the name Marcia Nancy King advertising apartment rentals for students and short-term renters. This person is out to steal your money! Protect yourself from losing a significant amount of money:
Be suspicious of anyone who asks for money for a site unseen rental. A video is not proof of legitimacy!
Do not send money via bank wire transfer to anyone! Money sent by wire is not refundable from your bank.
Carefully exam any paperwork sent to you. Marcia Nancy King sends a photocopy of a driver's license that has been photoshopped.
Don’t sign any rental agreements or send any money until you have seen the property in person and have keys in hand.
Marcia Nancy King will try to cancel your contract and ask for your bank information to wire a refund. This is a scam to gain access to your bank account! Do not give your account details to anyone!
Use your internet sleuthing skills to verify names, property addresses, and ownership. The resources are there!

If you have already been hit by this scam, please go file a police report and report it to your bank. These scams work because victims are embarrassed to file complaints. Your bank can attach flags to scammers names that will make it possible for bank tellers to warn others before they too lose money. Be a good neighbor & report these thieves!

As most of you know by now 3 of our families were left homeless by fire in the Rancho Alamo Trailer Park. One of these families was our very own Laura Beas-Diaz. Laura and Joel have both put in countless hours of service to our community. They were instrumental in getting food, heaters, blankets and more to those in need during the pandemic. Laura has also helped with rent assistance, emergency EBT, medical appoints, translation, etc. through her work with The Los Alamos Foundation and Olga Reed School. It is really no surprise then that the Los Alamos community has jumped at the chance to give back to Laura and her family. For this, we are all extremely grateful and deeply touched. Not everyone gets to live in such a warm and sheltering community. We are truly blessed.

Several GoFundMe accounts have been established to help the Diaz family (https://gofund.me/5a791fd6)
Kim Budoff-Kapsh (https://gofund.me/e62d1ba1)
and Kris Valentine (https://gofund.me/1a242eb4)
It is important that we wrap our arms around Kim and Kris who have also lost everything. In a different set of circumstances Laura would be leading the charge for them, and, in fact, they are still top of mind for her. So, let’s put Laura’s mind at ease and go deep for Kim & Kris.

Below is information of the temporary living arrangements for Laura & family that were coordinated by Angela Osborne of “A Tribute to Grace,” along with items needed. Some of these may have already been secured so you may want to check with Angela first, especially for larger items. Kim Budoff-Kapsh & Kris Valentine will also need help getting set up and will benefit from these drop-offs.

Joel, Laura and family will be moving into a cottage in Santa Ynez. The cottage has three bedrooms, one large living room, kitchen, and one full bathroom. Diaz family consist of Joel, Laura, 15-year-old son, 9-year- old daughter, and Laura’s mother. Below are the most basic essential household items needed, if you have any of these items you would like to donate please let us know what items so we can check off and bring to the cottage on Monday.
If you have any other items that are not listed and would love to donate, please let us know and bring on over.
Los Alamos drop off:
A Tribute to Grace Wine Company tasting room
490 Bell St, Unit 5
Open 11am - 5pm, Friday through Sunday.
— for larger items, please call Angela Osborne (805) 350-8553 or Jen Curtis (781) 640-2926 to co-ordinating dropping off.

Como la mayoría de ustedes ya saben, 3 de nuestras familias se quedaron sin hogar por el incendio en Rancho Alamo Trailer Park. Una de estas familias fue nuestra propia Laura Beas-Diaz. Laura y Joel han dedicado incontables horas de servicio a nuestra comunidad. Fueron fundamentales para llevar alimentos, calentadores, cobijas y más a los que necesitaban durante la pandemia. Laura también ha ayudado con asistencia de renta, EBT de emergencia, citas médicas, traducción, etc. a través de su trabajo con la Fundación Los Alamos y la Escuela Olga Reed. Realmente no sorprende que la comunidad de Los Álamos haya aprovechado la oportunidad ayudar a Laura y su familia. Por esto, todos estamos extremadamente agradecidos y conmovidos. No todos pueden vivir en una comunidad como esta. Somos verdaderamente bendecidos.

Se han establecido varias cuentas de GoFundMe para ayudar a la familia Díaz (https://gofund.me/5a791fd6) Kim Budoff-Kapsh (https://gofund.me/e62d1ba1) y Kris Valentine (https://gofund.me/1a242eb4) Es importante que ayudamos a Kim y Kris, quienes también lo han perdido todo. En diferente circunstancias, Laura estaría liderando el cargo por ellos y, de hecho, todavía son lo más importante para ella. Entonces, tranquilicemos a Laura y apoyaremos Kim y Kris. A continuación, encontrará información sobre los arreglos de vivienda temporal para Laura y su familia que fueron coordinados por Angela Osborne de "A Tribute to Grace", junto con los artículos necesarios. Es posible que algunos de estos ya se hayan asegurado, deben de consultar primero con Angela, especialmente para artículos más grandes. Kim Budoff-Kapsh y Kris Valentine también necesitarán ayuda para instalarse y se beneficiarán de estas donaciones.

Joel, Laura y su familia se mudarán a una cabaña en Santa Ynez. La cabaña tiene 3 dormitorios, una gran sala de estar, cocina y un baño completo.
La familia Díaz está compuesta por Joel, Laura, un hijo de 15 años, una hija de 9 años y la madre de Laura.
A continuación se encuentran los artículos domésticos esenciales más básicos que se necesitan, si tiene alguno de estos artículos que le gustaría donar,
háganos saber qué artículos podemos marcar y traer a la cabaña el lunes. Si tiene otros artículos que no están en la lista y le encantaría donarlos,
háganoslo saber y tráigalos.
