Directors of the OBTC have the opportunity to go above and beyond in service to the Ocean Beach community by leading and planning community events, contributing volunteer hours to projects around town, advocating on behalf of the community to local government, and more. If elected, you would serve a two-year term in this capacity. If that sounds like a life-giving commitment for you, consider running for a seat on the Board!

October is National Cyber Security Month
From Aliro Marketing, who is advising business owners to take this action on FB & IG. October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, so you'll want to save this post as I provide instructions for how to turn on 2 factor authentication for your Facebook & Instagram accounts to add a layer of security to your accounts. Why do you need to do this? Well, it seems like a new round of hackers are up to no good again - In the past 2 weeks, I've seen several personal Facebook connections say they "have not created a new account, don't accept a friend request from me".
