ADDRESS CHANGES Be sure to send any address changes to the Club office via email or U.S. mail.
BUS TRIPS
If you prefer to drive to an event rather than take the bus when a bus is provided, the cost is still the same. You need to make a special note on your reservation form so we do not reserve a seat on the bus. You can meet up with the group at the designated time and place.
BUS TRIP PARKING
For all one-day trips involving a bus, a parking area on the NORTHEAST corner of Creekside Community Center (98th Street and Newton Avenue South) has been designated for
Ceridian retirees.
Lyle Miller
When entering the Ceridian headquar-
ters for the past fifteen years, club mem-
bers have been greeted by Lyle, who
held both security and receptionist du-
ties. Lyle was a very friendly, considerate
and helpful person. He was transferred
to a new site and will be missed. Chuck
Woldum represented the Retirees Club
with best wishes and a fond fairwell for
Lyle.

Techie Questions from Members Do you have any specific questions about technology or something specific you would like to see covered in this column? Send your suggestions, questions, and comments to the club at [email protected]. We will try to address them in future issues.
I thought I would start out this month by telling you about the new techie we have in our midst. You all know Chuck Woldum. He calls me frequently to either ask about what’s new at Ceridian or to ask a technical ques-tion. Last week he calls and says his printer isn’t working and that he is getting a message that the carriage is stuck. I gave him some suggestions to try and while he was trying them I did some research on-line and found a few more things to try. So when he called back and indicated that the first suggestions didn’t work I gave him a couple more things to try. When he called back and indicated that none of them worked he mentioned he had another printer and I suggested that he swap them out. Later he calls and said the original printer was working. I asked what happened and he said he just hit it and it starting printing out all his documents. The next day he calls again all enthused and said it was failing again but after he hit it again it started working. So if you need some technical help you might want to check with Chuck and see if he can help.
Now for a caution if you use Amazon to purchase items:
Hackers hit Amazon.com! Beware of fake deals
Before you make your next Amazon purchase, please be aware that not everything you can buy on its site is
sold or fulfilled by Amazon directly. The Amazon Marketplace is also populated with third-party sellers that
sell and ship their own goods. These are seller accounts that utilize Amazon's platform, customer reach and
search tools to peddle their own wares.
While Amazon tries its best to police its third-party sellers from scamming customers or from selling coun-
terfeit goods, there's a troubling ploy that has been spreading in recent weeks.
According to The Wall Street Journal, hackers are taking over third-party Amazon Marketplace seller ac-
counts to post non-existent items and fake deals, stealing tens of thousands of dollars from customers and
sellers alike.
As a shopper, to protect yourself from Amazon Marketplace scams (and online shopping scams, in gen-
eral), avoid items and deals that seem too good to be true. If a seller is offering deep discounts on a popular item, it's most likely bogus. For added security on Amazon.com, only buy items that are sold or fulfilled by
Amazon (typically labeled with the "Prime" logo).

West Side Story
By Gloria Cumming
On April 8th, 32 retirees and 7 guests attended this show at Ordway
Theater. This stage play celebrates 60 years this year (1957). New York
City’s West Side was a vibrant battleground in the 1950s. In the midst
of the deep-seated rivalry between Puerto Rican gang, the Sharks, and
the white gang, the Jets, Maria and Tony discover that ancient grudges
are no match for their true love. However, they refuse to back down
and the “rumbles,” romance and resentment lead the bloody path to
the lovers’ ultimate, tragic conclusion with soaring, sophisticated and
diverse melodies and energetic dance battles. This is a remarkably sali-
ent social message. West Side Story remains one of American musical
theater’s most revolutionary and most loved treasures. It was beauti-
fully done — the acting, dancing, singing and music.

Spring Luncheon
By Chuck Woldum
Saturday, April 1 was our Spring Luncheon at Mystic Lake for 185 retirees and
their guests. Again the dining room was very nicely decorated, the food deli-
cious (even though the chicken picatta tasted like pork), and the entertainment
by “The Swamp Kings” was enjoyed. Attendees got the chance to meet old
friends and overall it was a pleasant afternoon. The only negative comment is
that 10 percent of those who made reservations did not attend.
