I have less than a year in the Claremont Chamber and it is amazing how much support and new business comes from Claremont. I appreciate all the contacts and friends I have made from being involved with the Chamber. All of us can greet new people, but being part of the Ambassador team really opens doors and gets you involved. As an active Ambassador, my favorite duty is to meet new or potential members at our breakfast. It is very fulfilling being able to welcome and encourage people unfamiliar with chamber networking. Claremont Chamber has brought me an abundance of new business, mentors, and of course friends. The Chamber helps businesses like mine flourish!!! Rick Lewis Source1 Plumbing

Statewide Plastic Bag Ban On September 30, 2014, the Governor signed Senate Bill 270 into law. The legislation phases out single-use plastic carryout bags statewide. On July 1, 2015, the new restrictions will go into effect at supermarkets and drugstores, defined as: • A full-line, self-service retail store with gross annual sales of two million dollars ($2,000,000) or more that sells a line of dry groceries, canned goods, or nonfood items, and some perishable items, or
or Type 21 license issued by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, or • A convenience food store, foodmart, or other entity that is engaged in the retail sale of goods intended to be consumed off the premises, and that holds a Type 20 or Type 21 license issued by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Paper and compostable plastic bags may still be distributed with a minimum 10 cent charge. Reusable bags may also be distributed provided that they comply with specific criteria. City staff will work with affected business owners to provide information about compliance with the new legislation.
• Having at least 10,000 square feet of retail space that generates sales or use tax and has a pharmacy. Starting July 1, 2016, the restrictions begin to impact smaller foodmarts and convenience stores, defined as: • A convenience food store, foodmart, or other entity that is engaged in the retail sale of a limited line of goods, generally including milk, bread, soda, and snack foods, and that holds a Type 20

It is hard to believe that the Holidays are fast approaching - but there is still much time to build relationships, network and market before the Holiday mind-set takes over. The Claremont Chamber has two signature events in December lined up for you: A Holiday Mixer hosted by Chantrelles Catering at the beautiful and festive Padua Hills Theatre on December 4th from 5:30 – 7:00 PM.

From all of us at the Chamber, we wish you good times with family and friends as you share a meal and give thanks for all that you have accomplished this year. It’s a great time to consider volunteering with many of our local nonprofit organizations providing needed services throughout our community during the holidays.

The Art of Appreciation: Is it a lost art? By: David Acker, IOM, ACE Simply put the “Art of Appreciation” is not taken advantage of on countless opportunities each day. Grateful recognition of those we work with and those we work for is also an ingredient of your character and is also reflected in your reputation. With no MDR (Minimum Daily Requirement) established, you are your own author of the privilege to express appreciation when appropriate. Chambers of commerce, nonprofit organizations, associations, public and private sector all provide the social interaction of communication on a minute by minute basis. It also provides those moments when someone goes above and beyond and out of their way to be part of your success. How often have we let that moment slip by to recognize and acknowledge someone who has contributed to our success? Tell Judge Judy I plead “guilty” myself. In the rush of multi-tasking, managing your organization, supporting your staff, informing your board members, answering countless questions from the public, and at the same time amplifying your attention to your members, one does have a few key moments slip by. The opportunities to share sincere appreciation will be brought to us, like questions that need answers, on a daily basis. In our haste to feed that Type A personality of serving others, those golden moments are not the priority that they could be. Each walk-in, phone call, email, text, personal conversation could be the highlight of that person’s social interaction for the day. To us we may just have that “next please” thought in our minds. How many life-long impressions have you made on others because of what you may have considered a seemingly small or insignificant conversation, but to the other person it could be a critical contribution to their success, safety, or health. Giving thanks and expressing thanks take two different actions. Giving thanks is that quiet voice inside of us that acknowledges the action. Expressing thanks takes the initiative to alter or interrupt the flow of the communication and verbalize and sincerely transfer your
words and feelings to others within a few seconds when that person is in front of you or on the phone. That is when the appreciation is best sent and best received. We can all review just within the last 24 hours a few, or several, moments when we could have shared our appreciation to others. The next day business continues, calls are returned, meetings attended, and those moments yesterday when you could have shared your appreciation to someone are now evaporated. What impact did it have on you when someone shared their appreciation for you? Did you reflect on it, did it surprise you, did it alter your impression or opinion of that person? In many of my keynotes over the years, I have invited folks to consider thanking three more people today than they did yesterday. This is not hard to do and could produce endless benefits to both of you. With the leadership position you have in your career, and in your life, appreciation is already part of your DNA as a leader. Take it to the next level and invite this conversation at your next staff meeting. It could be a topic that will surprise some. To refresh the “privilege of sharing appreciation” might just create a great topic with your team. It is no coincidence that my business cards are printed… ”We appreciate you thinking of Aaker & Associates”. Not a new topic, but I hope this plants the seed to express appreciation in areas you had not considered yesterday. The harvest of your expressions of sincere appreciation will extend far beyond your intention. After a 20 year successful chamber management career, Aaker & Associates was put in full motion in 2004. A nationally known speaker, trainer and author on customer service, David offers his seminars as serious fundraisers for chambers and associations nationwide. He was recently named “Among America’s Best Speakers” by Sky Radio and featured on 42,000 flights worldwide in 2009. David is available for keynote and breakout programs for your local, regional and state conferences. David can be found at www.davidkaaker.com, and invites your personal call at 760-323-4600.

CryptoWall -- the Next Security Threat By Ed Reece, CEO, ISN Global Enterprises Inc. Last year saw a number of highly publicized security threats that many companies struggled to deal with. One of those was some nasty malware called Cryptolocker, which held your files for ransom. While this has now largely been dealt with, news is surfacing of a second version - called CryptoWall - that has begun to infect users. What is Crypto malware? Crypto malware is a type of trojan horse that when installed onto computers or devices, holds the data and system hostage. This is done by locking valuable or important files with a strong encryption. You then see a pop-up open informing you that you have a set amount of time to pay for a key which will unlock the encryption. If you don’t pay before the deadline, your files are deleted. When this malware surfaced last year, many users were understandably more than a little worried and took strong precautions to ensure they did not get infected. Despite these efforts, it really didn’t go away until earlier this year, when security experts introduced a number of online portals that can un-encrypt files affected by Cryptolocker, essentially neutralizing the threat, until now that is. A recently updated version is threatening users once again. Cryptolocker 2.0, aka. CryptoWall Possibly because of efforts by security firms to neutralize the Cryptolocker threat, the various developers of the malware have come back with an improved version, CryptoWall and it is a threat that all businesses should be aware of. With CryptoWall, the transmission and infection methods remain the same as they did with the first version: It is most commonly found in zipped folders and PDF files sent over email. Most emails with the malware are disguised as invoices, bills, complaints, and other business messages that we are likely to open. The developers did however make some “improvements” to the malware that make it more difficult to deal with for most users. These changes include: • Unique IDs are used for payment: These are addresses used to verify that the payment is unique and from one person only. If the address is used by another user, payment will now be rejected. This is different from the first version where one person who paid could share the unlock code with other infected users.
• CryptoWall can securely delete files: In the older version of this threat, files were deleted if the ransom wasn’t paid, but they could be recovered easily. In the new version the encryption has increased security which ensures the file is deleted. This leaves you with either the option of paying the ransom or retrieving the file from a backup. • Payment servers can’t be blocked: With CryptoLocker, when authorities and security experts found the addresses of the servers that accepted payments they were able to add these to blacklists, thus ensuring no traffic would come from, or go to, these servers again. Essentially, this made it impossible for the malware to actually work. Now, it has been found that the developers are using their own servers and gateways which essentially makes them much, much more difficult to find and ban. How do I prevent my systems and devices from being infected? Unlike other viruses and malware, CryptoWall doesn’t go after passwords or account names, so the usual changing of your passwords won’t really help. The best ways to prevent this from getting onto your systems is: • Don’t open any suspicious attachments - Look at each and every email attachment that comes into your inbox. If you spot anything that looks odd, such as say a spelling mistake in the name, or a long string of characters together, then it is best to avoid opening it. • Don’t open emails from unknown sources - Be extra careful about emails from unknown sources, especially ones that say they provide business oriented information e.g., bank statements from banks you don’t have an account with or bills from a utilities company you don’t use. Chances are high that they contain some form of malware. Should your files be attacked and encrypted by this malware, then the first thing you should do is to contact us. We can work with you to help find a solution that will not end up in you having to pay the ransom to recover your files. If you are looking to learn more about CryptoWall malware and how to boost your security and protect your data and systems, contact ISN Global at (909) 670-0601 and they could be your first line of tech defense.
