Pleas read anything you think is being sent to you by me. First, I would never ask you to call me immediately, open a Venmo account, Purchase Apple or any other gift cards, My emails are always signed as this one is below. It does not vary. I have it set up this way on my computer and iPhone. Lastly, if you are ever in doubt, call me first. If the email says I am to busy to take your call, right there tells you it is spam. If you get one of these emails, delete it permanently from your computer. I have sent an email to president Riccobono requesting he have John Berggren look into tighter security on their behalf seeing as it seems to be board members that are getting these false emails.</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">Best Regards,</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">Maryanne Melley</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">President</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">860-212-5549</span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style=""><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:maryanne.melley@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:maryanne.melley@gmail.com">maryanne.melley@gmail.com</a></span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"><span style="">Together with love, hope, and determination, we transform dreams into reality</span></p></div><p style="" class="yiv3494497944MsoNormal"> </p></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div><blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></div>
