Postal Fraud presentation was. The members reported the presenter was good and
provided a lot of great handouts including crime prevention dvd’s. The membership said that when people think of

realize that there are so many other crimes happening on campus and the
atmosphere is changing. Secretary/Treasurer Jennifer Allshouse
