Double Oak Women’s Club Upcoming Events
Double Oak Women's Club Meeting
DOWC monthly meeting is next Tuesday, October 17, at 7 p.m. @ Town Hall. Remember, if you bring a guest who has never attended a meeting and they join, your name goes in the hat for $100 of Bonnie’s money. You don’t want to miss out on that!!! Drawing night is at the Christmas pot lunch dinner. Right now, two names are in the hat, but we need more.
Our guest speaker will talk about de-cluttering your home. We can probably all use advice on that subject.
Double Oak Women's Club Annual Auction
Please mark your calendars for November 4th for the DOWC’s annual auction supporting our community charities and our excellent fire department. This event is fun, with lots of food, beverages, and bidding wars. Please Join us.
If you have items to donate for auctioning, we will be accepting items at Town Hall on Friday, Nov. 3
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Four Easy Ways to Stay Safe Online
We can all collaborate to build a safer, more trusted digital world! We can all become significantly safer online by learning the four simple steps to stay safe online at home, work, and school and sharing these tips with our community.
Below are the simple actions we should all take during October and every day throughout the year.
Use Strong Passwords
Strong passwords are long, random, and unique, including all four character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols). Password managers are a powerful tool to help you create strong passwords for each account.
Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
It would be best to have more than a password to protect your online accounts, and enabling MFA makes you significantly less likely to get hacked. Enable MFA on all your online accounts that offer it, especially email, social media, and financial accounts.
Recognize & Report Phishing
Be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for personal information. Avoid sharing sensitive information or credentials with unknown sources. Report phishing attempts and delete the message.
Update Software
Ensuring your software is current is the best way to ensure you have the latest security patches and updates on your devices. Regularly check for updates if automatic updates are not available.

DENTON COUNTY ISSUES BURN BAN – REMINDER FROM DOVFD
As the excessive heat continues through the weekend and into next week, the DOVFD just wanted to remind everyone to please stay safe; along with the heat comes Ozone pollution and unhealthy air, more reasons to take it easy indoors.
Also, we would like to remind residents that we are in a burn ban for all of Denton County; there is an increasing threat of rapid ignition and spread of wildfires throughout the region due to persistent hot and dry conditions.
Stay safe, and don’t hesitate to call 911 if you need help; the DOVFD is here for you.
