THE ANCHOR / FaD 1993

Breast Cancer Survival Janet Minnis Jimison, Iota Last fall , my year ly mammogram showed calcifications. After a second mammogram , sonogram, and examination , the doctor told me the bad news. I asked her three times to repeat herself; I was so surprised because there is no cancer on my side of the family . A biopsy several weeks later confirmed that it was breast cancer. I cried for a long time; I just couldn 't believe it was true. Conrad , my husband, tried to help me deal with this , but it's something you have to learn to accept. A week later I had a modified mastectomy, and afterwards, an oncologist recommended six months of chemotherapy. I really did not know what to expect with chemo but it really did not bother me at all. I kept on working and only missed time on Wednesdays when I went for treatments. Hair loss was a side effect of two of the drugs I took. I knew I could handle chemo but the hair loss was something else. While I did lose 3/ 4 of my hair, I did not have to wear the wig I bought just in case (although I took it with me everywhere I went). I finished my six months of treatment in April and I feel fine now. My family was so supportive and that really helped . It took me a good two months to get my head screwed on so that I wouldn 't cry when people talked to me. With the help of sorority sisters and family , I knew that I could handle anything. I feel that my mission now is to help others who are going through this . If anyone needs to talk they can call me (316 -442 -6 7 48 evenings) and I will try to help . Also , I encourage everyone to go for their mammograms because 10

The National Panhellenic Conference is participating in the Glamour/Hanes Hand-in-Hand breast cancer awareness program. Information about the causes of breast cancer and preventativ~ measures is available from this program , your doctor, and a vanety of other resources. Our focus is on three of our sisters who have survived breast cancer, who tell us how the disease affected them and the changes they 've made in their lives: three doctors could not feel the lumps which showed up on my mammogram . I also go to a support group and feel fortunate to have a boss who let me come and go as I needed . Having a job and the National Treasurer position kept me going . I did not have time to feel sorry for myself. Remember every woman is at risk. One out of every eight of us will get breast cancer.

Betty Geist Rose , Iota In September 1971 I went to my doctor for an exam because I had noticed a fullness above the nipple on my " left breast. After much probing, a tiny lump was felt. (I'm not sure if mammography was available at that time.) After a biopsy was performed , I took a short time to consider my options, and one week later had a radical mastectomy which took muscle , breast, and lymph nodes. In 1978, a mammogram showed changes in my right breast so it was removed as a simple mastectomy . My husband and family were so supportive ; they did not allow me self-pity but encouraged me to overcome . Although I was devastated when I first learned I had cancer, I believe it made me a stronger person and gave me the courage to face other challenges in my life. I decided to return to teaching after 20 years and went back to college to earn my master's degree in Early Childhood, which I am still putting to use as a paraprofessional in an elementary school. In 1991 , my daughter (age 38) was diagnosed with breast cancer and also had a double mastectomy. Hers was discovered with a mammogram at her annual physical. I am happy to report that he and I

are now in excellent health. I feel early detection was a key factor for both of us. I encourage any LT sister who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, or who has a family member diagnosed with breast cancer, to call me (316-342-4343) . I will be happy to help you any way I can .

Ellenjane Kathleen Gohlke Soltesz, Theta The word we all dread came into my life last summer . Lulled into a feeling of security by the usual cystic problems , this time the mammogram showed calcifications . A biopsy confirmed the mammogram's findings , and I got the "bad news " a day later. After the initial shock, I listened to the surgeon 's instructions for my situation (fortunately the cancer was small and found early), read carefully the material he gave me, and felt the path he outlined was best for me . Over the summer, I had a lot of time to discuss, commiserate , seek advice , weigh o ptions , and take pre-surgery tests . I even took one whole day to be mad! After the biopsy, a second surgery resulted in another incision , which incurred some nerve damage and soreness, but no cancer was found in the nodes. As a follow-up , I had 37 radiation treatments . Checkups now occur every three months, and so far I am free of cancer. I really haven "t made any changes to my lifestyle . If anything l"ve tried to do more than ever because time becomes very precious.

Earlier this year, Dr. Bernadine Healy, former director of the National Institutes of Health , launched the Women's Health Initiative , a $625-million, 14-year effort, which will study cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, depression , and cancer, especially breast cancer. "The Women 's Health Initiative will develop a series of recommendations concerning diet, hormonereplacement therapy, and vitamin supplements," stated Dr. Healy . "These recommendations will serve as signposts to help women and their physicians weigh the evidence and make informed decisions. The study will also evaluate various approaches for motivating women to adopt healthy behaviors, such as eating a healthy diet , taking nutritional supplements, stopping smoking , doing physical exercise, and getting regular medical checkups. "Today, one in eight women will have breast cancer during her lifetime ," said Dr. Healy. "In 1940, that number was one in twenty." With the establishme nt of the Women's Health Initiative, the government is more involved than ever in the research of diseases which affect women. If you would like to see even more government involvement, let your elected representatives in Washington know how you feel. Call the House of Representatives at 202/ 224-3121 or the Senate at 202 / 225-3121 and an operator will connect you with the right office. importa nt.

Networking: The Anchor Line by Meredith Rambo , Gamma Pi As you anticipate your graduation from college, you are filled with excitement, but many times that enthusiasm is accompanied by an overw he lming fear of The Real World! This anxiety is often intensified by questions from well-meaning adults who ask what you plan to do with yourself. Rather than get frustrated and give a witty response, why not ask them if they have any suggestions about where you should begin? Every year, the higher education system in the United States deposits hundreds of thousands of graduates into the job market. In order to get a fruitful beginning to your career, you should use every available resource. "Networking ", which has become a buzzword of the 1990s, is one of the best ways to start a career search. Essentially, networking is developing a list of people you know who can given you t he names of peo ple they know , etc ., so that you begin to have a list of contacts in the business world. With every person you talk to , your list should grow. Your parents and other family members are a great place to begin this process. And now , your sisterhood is another . The ANCHOR LINE is a new networking program offered by Alpha Sigma Tau for recent graduates and sisters re-entering the job market or making a career change. This program wi ll become operationa l early in 1994 . By completing a simp le registration form listing answered . Keep asking until they are ; if not, find a different doctor . Here in Michigan, the doctor must give you a booklet wh ich outlines the options available to you. I was lucky because of the doctors and hospitals close to me. We need to work hard to make this treatment ava ilable to all women, regardless of

major fie ld of study and geo grap hic and career preferences , participants will be given a list of sisters already in positions in the specified area(s) who are available to assist you. (The registration form will be printed in The Anchor and The Crest .) From there, the sister who requested the information need only contact the other sister to arrange a meeting.

Some tips on networking: • Always keep records of contacts you 've made . • Take notes during meetings to remember important details; jot down your own thoughts after the meeting . • Always have extra copies of your resume when you go to a meeting . • Thank you notes are a must within 24 hours of the meeting! • Follow up with new contacts as soon as possible. • Keep your contacts up to date on your progress. • When you accept a position , notify your contacts and re-thank them for their time and assistance. If you found your new job through networking , let them know that too, so they recognize the benefits of networking . • Kee p in touch with those contacts you found to be most valuable-send holiday or birthday cards or an occasional note . Now we n eed a logo for our networking program . Artistic ArT sisters should submit their logo designs to Carole Bicking Keily, The Anchor Editor , 7807 Leland Road , Manassas , VA 221 11 , by December 1, 1993 . The winning designer will be featured in the spring issue of The Anchor. where they live . A most important plus is the support of a loved one who , even if they don 't understand what you 're going through , is there for you. My husband went to every appointment I had except one-what a help that was. But also , the workers in this field are very special. 13

Celebrating Sisterhood at a Regional Leadership Workshop by Rose Marie Schmidt, Theta, National Foundation Second Vice President From the welcome at registration in th e University Union to the farewell at the sweet table , Heidi Monroe , RLW Collegiate Chairma n , the Alp ha Pi Chapter , and Chapter Adviser Therese Caldarelli did themselves proud as hostesses for the Regional Leadership Workshop (RLW) held at Slippery Rock Unive rsity last February 26-28. Nine chapters were represented for a weekend of meeting new sisters, exchanging ideas, learning new approaches, and enjoying good times. Hungry from the drive to Slippery Rock, sisters feasted at the buffet of hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and sweets

prepared by Alpha Pi members and their families. Icebreakers provided clever introductions that gave participants a chance to learn about one another before the welcome by National Vice P resident Ricki Trosen and the presentation of songs and skits by chapters in the Beta and Lambda Districts . Three workshops started the exchange of ideas. The volunteerism workshop was conducted by National Vice President Ricki Trosen ; chapter excellence by National Foundation Second Vice President Rose Marie Schmidt; and membership recruitment and retention by Lambda District President Mary Ellen Willmitch . The workshops were followed by roundtables providing further exchanges on pledge , led by Beta District P resident Norma Black; rush , led by Alpha Pi Chapter Consultant Erica Papley ; and finances , led by Alpha Pi Chapter Adviser Therese Caldarelli. The banquet was held in the balloon-festooned dining hall which complemented the enthusiastic circles of sisters as they guessed the intent of the small boxes of LOVE

that were the favors . Only those who attended know that secret! Leadership was the topic selected by the speaker , Slippery Rock Mayor Linda Lenz , a patroness of ~ T . Her interesting stories provided an entertaining and thoughtprovoking plan for personal development and action . The banquet program concluded with the presentation of awards and a gift exchange among the chapters. And there was more! Karaoke in the Union made for a loud and merry finale . Chapters took the stage as they sang and danced to their choice of music . A tape recording was provided to each group as they completed their songs. Even the National Staff participated with "We Can Work it Out" by the Beatles! Sunday morning , two women were pin-pledged by Alpha Rho Chapter . At the moving Rededication Ceremony conducted by Lambda District President Mary Ellen Willmitch and the sisters of Alpha Tau, 140 sisters re -pledged themselves to the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau .

We had the biggest and most organized alumnae weekend ever. We had a great turnout and a wonderful time! We had social functions with fraternities who were also hosting their alumni , including Sigma Pi and Tau Epsilon Phi. -Stacy Yaworski

Our National President, Mary Charles Ashby , came to visit our chapter, which we enjoyed very much. -Melissa Hatfield

Gamma Nu/Waynesburg

Waynesburg, PA: This semester's formal rush brought us eight lovely women . These ladies worked very hard during their pledge period and with our a doubt, they demonstrated the true meaning of sisterhood. We will participated in Greek Week activities in April. Our chapter also attended the RLW at Slippery Rock University (Alpha Pi) . The sisters who participated brought back a lot of ideas and stories about the time spent with our sisters from other schools.

Gamma PVLycoming

Williamsport, PA: Our local motto: "Everything We Achieve was Once Just a Dream" is the foundation for everything we do. Busy is a great way to describe our spring semester. Many fund-raising and philanthropic projects have made the spring semester seem short. We sold daffodils for the American Cancer Society and worked in the Red Cross Bloodmobile blood drive. Our pledges donated canned goods to a soup kitchen at Saint Anthony 's Center, and clothes for a women 's help center and for rescue workers were collected by our Panhellenic Council. This spring our rush activities kicked off with an American Bandstand party where we acted out a freaky dance contest which was judged by the rushees (the nerds won). Our next rush event was Kindergarten Capers. Rushees and sisters dressed in little girl clothes and had cookies and milk . Our final rush party was an Italian Night. During our last rush function , sisters played waitress to an individual rushee to promote a closer relationship. In March we were informed by the Residence Life Staff that our housing facilities are being moved to a bigger and better floor on campus . We are pleased that our work has paid off! -Molly Kleinfelter

Gamma Tau/Lebanon Valley

Annville, PA: Pledging began February 1 with 14 pledges, the largest pledge class on campus! The highlight of pledging was the campus Lip Sync contest in which our pledges won second place! We were proud of them and are happy to say that on April 3, they all became sisters. Besides pledging , the sisters were busy with many other activities. In February , on Fastnacht Day , the sisters helped a local church make doughnuts. We were also proud to be involved with the AIDS Quilt which was on campus April 16-18. All the sisters volunteered to help watch the quilt and answer guests ' questions. Both projects were fun and educational. We had three successful fund -raisers . For Valentine 's Day, we sold Crush sodas using the slogan "''ve got a CRUSH on you! " and for Easter we sold plastic eggs filled with jelly beans. Our biggest fund-raiser was the sale of nachos at our Spring

Arts Weekend , May 1-2. -Melissa Fleegal

Gamma Theta/Penn StateBehrend

Erie, PA: Philanthropy has been our strong point this year! We participated in a campus-wide anti-rape march and rally called "Take Back the Night". Several sisters donated blood to support the Erie Blood Bank, and 2Ts walked for Walk America for the March of Dimes. We also cleaned our two-mile stretch of highway to help keep the environment clean with Adopt-A-Highway. Along with the Panhellenic Council , we participated in an Aerobic-A-Than which raised money for our campus health center and the American Cancer Society. Next fall , our alumnae weekend will coincide with Homecoming and the opening ceremonies of Greek week . We 'll be hoping for two years in a row as Greek Week champions! Many sisters and pledges attended RLW and returned with an award for the best skit! We have also been given an award for the highest GPA on campus by a Greek organization! -Courtney Donelly

Gamma Upsilon/California StateLos Angeles

We had fund-raisers for the Foothill AIDS project and volunteered our time to the Kiwanis Club Bike-a-Thon . For the Foothill AIDS Project , we were given the philanthropic award from our college Panhellenic! We participated in Greek volleyball , basketball, softball , tennis , racquetball, water polo, and swimming. We recently took a trip to Disneyland and since we had so much fun , we are planning trips to Magic Mountain , Raging Waters , Universal Studios, and possibly Las Vegas. We went to a taping of Garry Shandling's show. -Christine Sario

Gamma Chi/William Paterson

Wayne , NJ: The first weekend in February was a Greek retreat which representatives from each Greek organization at William Paterson attended . The retreat allowed our representative to get to know other Greeks and develop better unity among all Greeks . The retreat also allowed organizations to work out problems and discuss stereotypes. Rush began the second week of February. The same week, we had our first fund-raiser of the semester called '"Blowa-Kiss". '"Blow-a-Kiss" is actually Hershey Kisses tied to a red helium balloon with a special message for Valentine 's Day.

BUFFALO Assists in the Community We helped two local food pantries, and through our fund-raising activities, including monthly raffles , monthly 5050 club, white elephant sales, and Entertainment Book sales , we aided Pine Mountain , the annual Panhellenic luncheon, and two scholarship funds for local collegiate chapters. We also extend our helping hands to the local collegiate chapter by helping them keep balanced books , holding a joint Founders Day luncheon , and giving an affiliation ceremony in May for new members . Members spice up monthly business meetings by varying the locations and activiti es. In January we met at th e Classics V Restaurant; in February, we watched Marilyn Ciancio 's presentation of the video on the World University Games to be held in Buffalo in July 1993. Paper supplies were collected for the food pantries in March , and in May, officers were elected and installed . A June picnic in Canada rounded off our activities for the year. -Norma Martin

DETROIT Changes Name We enjoyed a rubber stamp demonstration at Debbie Yuhas' home in January . Each member made eight items to take home . Items were also available for purchase, with a portion of the cost donated to the chapter. In February , we held our annual night out. The game of choice was once again Whirleyball. Afterwards we headed to Nadia Maddens' house for pizza and potluck. Everyone had fun , although there were a lot of bruises and sore muscles the next day.

National President Mary Charles Ashby attended our March meeting at Debbie Bezaire's and asked the chapter for its input on a possible manufacturer for Alpha Sigma Tau attire . Following the meeting , Frank Madd ens gave a presentation on financial matters . We changed our name to Detroit/N ortheast Suburbs Alumnae Chapter to better reflect the location of the membership. April 's activities were held at Barb Koscierzynski's home . Items were solicited for the raffle of the Mother / Daughter Luncheon held the day before Mothers Day. -Patricia Maddens

ERIE: Small in Number, but Spunky! We worked on the Adopt-a-highway project with Gamma Theta. Although it was rainy , it was a fun, well-spent afternoon cleaning the two-mile stretch of highway. Th e fall activities also included a Founders Day luncheon with Gamma Theta and Alpha Tau . We also had the pleasure of making an expansion presentation at Gannon University in Erie. We must have made an impression. as we have just installed the Delta Alpha Chapter with 28 new members! The little community of ALT sisters has grown to three collegiate chapters within minutes of our alumnae group. We were kept busy with the new colony. There were rush activities , pin and ribbon ceremonies, and installation. Spring activities included sitting on the advisory board and hosting the alumnae induction ceremonies for all three collegiate chapters in the area . We welcome Kitty, Delta Alpha 's adviser , to the family. The new colony should spark new interest in our small but spunky group. - orma Black

HARRISBURG Hops Through Spring

Detroit/ Northeast Suburbs Alumnae gather for their first group photo under their new name.

We surprised the children of the Harrisburg Interfaith Shelter once again with an Easter party. Activities included decorating eggs and bunny bags, making bunny ears, guessing the number of jelly beans in a jar, and coloring or playing "Pin the Tail on the Bunny". We followed the Easter Bunny out ide to find dozens of Easter eggs on the lawn . After the egg hunt , snacks , crayons, and coloring books were handed out.

As a special treat, we gave the children Polaroid photos of themselves with the Easter Bunny. We made a profit of $225 from a Tupperware party in March . In April , Nancy Dech joined our chapter, and we also helped induct the Shippensburg seniors into the alumnae. The Blizzard of '93 postponed our Game Night, so we held it during May. The warmer weather also brought in new officers with the election of Donna Lapano as president. Outgoing president Joanna Parthemore was chosen Top Tau for her outstanding organizational skills and dedication , which led to the reactivation of the Harrisburg Chapter. -Lisa Waltman Sackett

NORTHERN VIRGINIA Knows the Key to Success At the International Potluck Dinner in February, husbands, boyfriends , and guests were all invited to attend. Thanks to Michell e Cangialosi and Michele Hellman and their successful planning , the men have all signed up for next year's "Friendship Night". The Blizzard of 1993 stalled March 's pizza party and Easter basket making , but members reorganized a few weeks later at Leah Lowe's for a Sunday afternoon of artistic display. We completed our work and still made the delivery of baskets to Childrens Hospital in Washington , DC before Easter got away. In April , a slate of officers was presented ; in addition , members were asked to think about committee membership for next year. After all , participating actively (whenever possible) in everything is the secret to Northern Virginia 's success. We also took time out from business to assemble packages of "morale goodies " to sustain Chi and Gamma Zeta Chapters during finals . An interesting treat was sent from last fall 's bride , Cheryl Quast Reseck, now a resident of Korea: a box of assorted Korean snacks for sampling at our May meeting . New officers were elected and installed in May as well. Several collegians from Chi Chapter joined us for our chapter picnic at the Ashby's home in The Plains. We send our best to Michelle Cangialosi , who recently moved to New Jersey. -Mary Louise Doyle

PHILADELPHIA Alumnae are Three States Strong Wild winter weather canceled our first meeting but it did not stop us from visiting three different states. The annual Panhellenic Luncheon was held the week following the "Blizzard of '93" in March, at the Waynesboro Country Club in Paoli , PA. The raffle tickets sold, along with an entertaining auction, gave a significant boost to the scholarship offered by Panhellenic. In April , Elinore DeCou hosted a luncheon at her home in Medford Leas, NJ . After lunch , we penned personal notes to collegiates at West Chester and LaSa ll e (A lph a Phi Chapter and Gamma Omega Colony). These greetings included finals "first-aid kits " of sweets, treats, and messages of encouragement. We assisted with the installation of G am m a Omeg a, proudly

We had a picture-perfect spring day to stroll around the historic town following lunch and a guided tour of the George Read II Mansion . Travels didn 't keep us from forgetting our philanthropic duties. In addition to our annual contribution to Pine Mountain Settlement School , we collected small personal items and handbags for the residents of Haverford State Hospital. Ruth Young oversees this effort by delivering our donations to the hospital. - Deborah L. Breechman

PITTSBURGH Alumnae are Back! Although we are still organizing the Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter, we are eager to rekindle ALT ties. We began with a core of five sisters; through newsletters and phone calls, these five contacted other local sisters to re-activate the Pittsburgh group. Our first meeting was held in April at the Kenmawr Church in Kennedy Twp. It was exciting to see familiar faces and meet new ones. We met with the president of Beta Delta Chapter at Duquesne University and discussed how we could play a positive role during fall rush . Suzanne Lilliquist Schultz was elected as our chapter president. We anticipate a year filled with numerous activities, outings, and of course, sisterhood. We are actively seeking new members. Any inte rested alumna living in this area who wants more information about our g ro up should contact our president , Suza nn e Schu ltz, at 412 348-4784. - Diane E. Parker

The patients have come to expect our cheery greetings. This year . we sent a few hundred cards to the ailing soldiers. We celebrated our local Founders Day (our 50th anniversary) in April with dinner at the Marriott Hotel. The annual Mothers Day luncheon was held on May 8 at the Wyandotte Yacht Club on the Detroit River. Mothers , daughters, sisters, and friends were invited to enjoy a beautiful day on the water. We took Alpha 's current pledge class out for a bowling night. It was a chance for the newest members to get to know us and for us to demonstrate that sorority can always be a part of their lives. This spring , we initiated three of Alpha 's graduating seniors into our chapter and celebrated with a pizza party at Linda Shapona's home . -Rebecca Dotson Praznik

Using Your Better Business Bureau by Linda Hollingshead Bruce, Alpha Xi

From the moment we wake up each day, we are faced with an ongoing stream of consumer decisions. Our choices may be as simple as deciding which coffee to drink or as complex as the investment of our life savings. We all want to make educated buying decisions but sometimes getting all that information together is overwhelming. It seems easier to "wing it", but poor choices can be costly in time and money. For example , you may need a new roof on your house and cannot decide which contractor to hire to do the job. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) can help your decisionmaking process by providing information about the companies you ' re considering , including whether or not there are unresolved complaints or other problems. Most BBB business performance reports can be relayed to you by phone ; just call your local Better Business Bureau with the name and address of the firm{s) you 're considering. The Better Business Bureau also offers a series of "wise buying booklets" for consumers. Booklet topics range from buying a central air conditioning system to work-at-home schemes. You may be in the process of re-evaluating your health insurance plan, for instance and discover you need impartial information to formulate questions for your agent. The BBB's booklet, "Tips on Health Insurance " gives you background about the topic in layman 's terms. For a list of BBB publications, write to the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc., 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800 , Arlington , VA 22203 and ask for the Consumer Information Series order form . In addition to spending money , we are also asked to donate money to charities. (And it seems that if you make one contribution , five more organizations will ask you for money.) The Better Business Bureau can help you evaluate these requests by providing information about the background, activities, and financial

status of charitable groups . Check out your favorite charities and evaluate how donations are being spent before making your decisions. The Better Business Bureau is perhaps best known for its complaint handling services . If a consumer is unable to resolve a marketplace dispute on his own, the BBB will ask for the complaint to be made in writing . The Bureau then presents the written complaint to the company involved and requests its response. Once both sides of the problem are presented , the BBB's mediators work with the consumer and the company to resolve the problem. Many complaints are the result of a misunderstanding rather than an attempt to defraud, and the mediator encourages voluntary cooperation to resolve the dispute . The closed complaint becomes part of the company's file, and is reported to those calling the BBB to inquire about the firm . Reports are based on the company 's re sponsiveness (or lack of it) to consumer complaints. By checking with the BBB before doing business with an unfamiliar firm , you can use the experiences of others as an indication of how you'll be treated . No matter how poor a company's business performance record may be, the Better Business Bureau cannot "put crooks out of business. ' "The Better Business Bureau is not a government agency and cannot put anyone out of business, " says James H. Mcilhenny, president of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. "We can 't crack down on crooks by ourselves. [Resolve] never to fall for an offer that seems too good to be true. Protect yourself by checking with the Better Business Bureau." "The BBB 's only 'crackdown ' tool is giving information ," says Carol Tulk, executive vice president of the Better Business Bureau of Mainland British Columbia . "We have no policing or prosecuting powers, nor are our activitie mandated by government. We are a

non-profit agency that urges consumers to phone us before they respond to ads." The number of scams are on the rise , according to Ms. Tulk. Here are some of the common ones: • Jobs that guarantee up to $1 ,000 a week for working a few hours a day at home; • Contests offering 'free " vacations that turn out not to be free; • Phony invoices that are solicitations in disguise; • Ads offering "big money" jobs overseas but are really selling lists of little value to job seekers; • Schemes that appear to offer sweepstakes prizes but sell merchandise ; • Prizes for which you have to qualify by buying pens, key chains, etc. at inflated prices and are not as promised; • Solicitations for charities which are really businesses with names easily confused with those of authentic charities; • Loan arrangers that charge upfront fees but seldom deliver .How can a consumer tell the difference between a legitimate offer and one that is not? An offer that sounds too good to be true may be a scam, and a wise consumer will investigate carefully before investing. Another warning sign is a sales person who hurries you past the fine print in an attempt to get your signature on a contract. There are Better Business Bureaus in most U.S . cities , serving designated areas. To find the BBB office closest to you , check the white pages of your telephone book or call directory assistance for the phone number. Consumer choices are becoming more complex each day. To make the best choices, it helps to remember the Better Business Bureau's advice: '· Investigate before you invest.
