Don’t Stress: Tips to Avoid Common Financial Mistakes and Scams during COVID-19 – Jen Lee
Jen Lee is a debt and credit attorney and owner of Jen Lee Law, a law firm with offices in San Francisco, San Ramon, and Tracy. She is a leading expert on debt, credit, and financial stress, having been featured in Consumer Affairs, US News & World Report, and other national publications. Jen is the creator of several innovative programs to deal with financial stress and rebuilding after financial disaster. Employees Are Assets is the name of her corporate program addressing financial stress in the workplace. It is estimated that employers lose $7,000 per year per employee due to the employees’ financial stress and Jen is helping to solve that problem. Jen is the co-author of Preventing Credit Card Fraud: A Complete Guide for Everyone from Merchants to Consumers, published by Rowman & Littlefield in March 2017. All too often, there is misinformation (or worse, bad information) out there that people use to make financial decisions, especially in today’s world of COVID-19. Using misinformation results in financial mistakes that can take years to fix. In this talk, participants get an overview of several areas that can cause financial stress these days and how to avoid making costly mistakes: Credit scores: how they work, when someone should care, and misconceptions; Debt: good and bad moves to make, identifying scams, and getting the right information; and Student loans: options for student loans, taking on student loans for children or other family members, and how to plan.

Rotary Club of Alamo to Sponsor
Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 3, 2021
The Rotary Club of Alamo will sponsor a virtual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 3, 2021 at Livorna Park, Andrew Young Park and Hemme Park. The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue until 12 noon. The Easter bunny will be at Livorna Park from 9 to 10 a.m.; Hemme Park from 10 to 11 a.m.; and Livorna Park from 11 to 12 noon.
Stop at any one of the Parks to see the Easter Bunny at a social distance and enjoy all of the wonderful daisies purchased by businesses and individuals to support the projects of The Rotary Club of Alamo, including the RotaCare Free Medical Clinics in Pittsburg and Richmond; the Bay Area Crisis Nursery; the Contra Costa/ Solano Counties Food Bank; Choice in Aging Adult Day Health Care Center; Meals on Wheels, School Dictionaries for Third Grade Students at Rancho Romero and Alamo Elementary Schools, the Warm Coat Drive, The Wheelchair Foundation, Roadside Clean Up and Beautification on Stone Valley Road and Danville Boulevard and the 680/Stone Valley Interchange, Charter sponsor of Cub Scout Packs 53 (Alamo Elementary School) and 800 (Rancho Romero Elementary School), Multiple water harvesting projects in Tanzania, a solid waste management project in Tiruchengode, India, supported a global grant to purchase four kidney dialysis machines and develop an educational and training program for two hospitals in Thailand.
When you stop at one of the three Parks, you'll notice colorful daisies "planted" all around. These daisies have been purchased by many Alamo businesses to show their support for making a difference in the world and to promote their businesses. Alamo Rotary appreciates their support and asks that you patronize their businesses. Many residents of Alamo have also purchased a daisy. Their daisies are for a loved one, to remember an event, or commemorate an achievement. These folks have also bought a daisy because they care about people less fortunate than they are. They also want to partner with Alamo Rotary in making a difference in the world. There are two sizes of daisies and can be purchased for either $50 or $100, respectfully. If you would like to purchase a daisy to honor either your children, family or publicize your business, please contact Joan Grimes at joangrimes@msn.com.
The Rotary Club of Alamo was founded on May 7, 1971 and will celebrate its 50th Anniversary this year. The Club is currently meeting on Wednesdays at 12:15 p.m. via Zoom. You can find the Zoom link for the meeting on the Club’s Facebook page.
Coming Wednesday, February 24, to the Rotary Club of Alamo at 12:15pm, you’ll be greeted by Herbert Steinhardt!

Estate Planning and Digital Assets – Robert Silverman
Robert J. Silverman is in his 28th year as a practicing attorney. Mr. Silverman and his staff concentrate on matters involving trusts and estates, including estate planning, trust administration and probate. The firm’s primary focus is on comprehensive estate planning, directed toward wealth preservation and enhancement. Prior to practicing law, he was President and Chief Operating Officer for a New England franchisor; directed a West Coast computerized loan origination operation for a mortgage banking/brokerage company; and conducted real estate brokerage and property management services for various companies, including his own. Before opening his own law office, he was a partner at the law firm of Silverman & Silverman (the other partner was his father, Donald Silverman, retired) in Alameda; and was “Of Counsel” to several local law firms. Mr. Silverman has the following educational degrees: B.A. in Psychology from the University of California at Davis; and a Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) from Golden Gate University in San Francisco. His professional affiliations include membership in the Estate Planning Council of Diablo Valley (Past President) and Contra Costa County Bar Association. Mr. Silverman has been a licensed real estate broker since 1981. He has also served on the professional advisory board of several charitable organizations. He’s most delighted with, and proud of, his marriage of more than 31 years and his three wonderful young-adult children. Mr. Silverman will be presenting on the topic of Estate Planning and Digital Assets. During the last few decades and particularly in recent years, much of our day-to-day lives are associated with “digital assets”, including but not limited to online banking; vendor applications and websites; online entertainment; and social media. Mr. Silverman will, among other things, explain why most estate planning documents, including Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney, do not cover (or adequately cover) the succession of management of these important digital assets.
