Day Light Savings Time

Well here are again. Day Light Savings Time. Don't forget to set your clocks FORWARD 1 hour tonight. It is also the time to change your smoke detector and carbon monoxide batteries. Also as a reminder check all your locks to make sure they latch and lock properly. Know where your keys are and if you are not sure where all the keys to your home are or WHO has keys to your home, contact your locksmith to rekey or change your locks. Like your batteries in the smoke detector, locks are such a small price to pay for safety and piece of mind. Cheltenham's Only Locksmith Steve's Locksmith 877-906-9562  (Mar 9, 2013 | post #1)

Locksmith Scam Alert

This is a letter from Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services dtd 22 Feb 2013 The Department of Criminal Justice Services urges citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be aware that unscrupulous nationwide locksmith businesses and individuals have recently been found to be operating in Virginia and other states. While legitimate locksmith businesses and individuals take great pride in their service and business practices, a persistent pattern of violations by some nationwide businesses has emerged and violations have been reported across the country. In Virginia, the Department of Criminal Justice Services, Division of Regulatory Affairs has investigated several of these businesses and individuals and taken action against those found to be in violation of the law or regulations governing locksmiths. The investigations revealed that there are several locksmith businesses and individuals using fictitious names and addresses, and making other misrepresentations . Citizens should be aware of deceptive tactics used by these companies such as quoting one price for services over the telephone but charging a higher price after providing the service. In some cases, they even insist on accompanying the customer to an ATM to withdraw cash for payment of the inflated fee. All citizens are encouraged to protect themselves from unlicensed businesses and unregistered individuals providing locksmith services.

Town River Festival

You should take your suggestions to Carey Geddes the President of the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber Board of Directors at their next meeting. The Chamber of Commerce is the sponsor of the Potomac River Festival. The Chamber is ALWAYS looking for new ideas and VOLUNTEERS to help with the event. I am sure they would be more than glad to get your help. Steve  (Jan 16, 2013 | post #4)

CB town Christmas lights

Some years ago when I was still with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber would donate money each few years towards the purchasing of lights. Money was donated by citizens, business and others. The Town at the time was also allotting some money towards lights. It was NEVER the TOWN only. At the time there some restrictions on the size, weight & design of the lights. There had to be a certain amount so that all the locations had a light and if I re-call at a price of $150.00-$200 each. The town always assisted in the mounting of the lights and there was NEVER any problem with it being done. ALL seemed thankful. From post nom it seems that someone always has to have a complaint about something. The displays on "The Hill" was always put in place by volunteers and the Chamber of Commerce and ALL those lights and displays were purchased by the Chamber. ALL this has always looked very nice. I don't try to count how many lights are burned out but try to reflect on the meaning behind all of this and be thankful you live in a place where you are allow to put up this displays.
