Detectives in Wonderland day-camp ended in style with an UNbirthday tea party! The missing tarts were found, the garden mystery solved and campers had a chance to perform or share their own wonderland stories with the group. Hopefully they’ll continue using the detective “APPS” learned at camp this week - Awareness, Perspective, Part/Whole and Signature mark - all summer and beyond!

FDA: Elevation Foods Recalls Packaged Egg Salad, Tuna Salad, Thai Lobster Salad, and Archer Farms Deviled Egg Sandwiches Because of Possible Health Risk
Company Announcement
July 19, 2019 - Elevation Foods is voluntarily recalling containers of Archer Farms-brand egg salad; Freskëtbrand egg salad, tuna salad, and Thai lobster salad; and Archer Farms-brand deviled egg sandwiches produced on June 18, 2019 due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
We believe fewer than 1,087 cases of product have been directly shipped to retailer warehouses throughout the United States.

FTC: Medicare Does Not Give Out DNA Kits
by Lisa Lake, Consumer Education Specialist, FTC
July 19, 2019 - Here’s one that goes to show just how creative scammers can be. The FTC is getting reports that callers claiming to be from Medicare are asking people for their Medicare numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personal information…in exchange for DNA testing kits. The callers might say the test is a free way to get early diagnoses for diseases like cancer, or just that it’s a free test, so why not take it? But the truth is, Medicare does not market DNA testing kits to the general public.
This is yet another government imposter scam.
