Data Security and Preservation

 
On a beautiful sunny late Fall day, 23 Rotarians and our speaker meet at the Waxy O’Connor’s with acting President Domenic S presiding. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by PP Jim F, one verse of American was led by Charlie V, and PP Don S provided the Invocation.
 
Happy dollars started by yours truly, PP Spencer, for my daughter’s 6th birthday. There were lots of people putting happy dollars for kids and or grandkids. Bob C for his daughter being in second place in her synchronized skating team, PP Dan O for his granddaughter’s first place finish in the synchronized skating, PP Maury A for his kids getting new jobs and Andrew B for his niece’s 1st birthday and the birth of another nieces.
 
PP David B put in some happy dollar for a clean bill of health. PP Don M was going to put in $4 happy dollars for the Pats win, but because the Pats only played well for a half, he put in $2. Michelle G was happy to get to see JT this weekend, and if you don’t know who that is ask your grandkids. 
 
Everyone was in such a good mood that there were no fines. PP John O was in attendance and still no fines. AMAZING
 
Raffle gifts were donated by Fit Together, Walpole Co-Op bank, Lexington Ace Hardware, PP Doug H, and Arlex Oil.

Joe Santangelo of Geek Office Solution was our speaker. He talked about data loss and data recovery. 25% of PCs will fail this year and 24% of all companies will experience some sort of data loss this year. It is not just about the lost data that Joe focused on, but the loss of productivity while you are trying to recover the data and replace the damaged machine. His best advice is to prepare now for a data loss so if/when it happens it will not adversely affect your business. Geek Office Solutions has options that can get your business up and running within hours, not days. What is your data back-up plan?  
 
Michelle G won the 50/50 for $75.
