Grant funds must be used to promote community wellness, civic engagement, cultural and historical awareness, economic vitality, environmental stewardship, and wildlife conservation in a manner consistent with applicable law, Town policy, and sound fiscal accountability.

Now is the time to organize your files and discard old, unneeded, or duplicate documents. Gone are the days when we have to keep backup pieces of paper. Most information is now available online and is easy to access.
This is also a good time to go paperless. Many companies, such as banks, credit cards, and insurance companies, offer this service. Not only is it safer, but it can also be helpful when you are away from home. A bonus is using less paper, which is good for the environment!
Since most of your documents probably have personal information, you don’t want to just throw them away. The best way to dispose of these documents is by shredding them.
It can be annoying to log into an account on your device and have to change the password on a moment’s notice. It is almost as bad when you have to set up an account, and they have different restrictions than you are used to. Hackers have become more adept at getting through the normal passwords, so it may be time to think about how you are going to change a password.
The College of Charleston Technology Team recommends the following:
Use the first letters of a phrase that you can remember, such as Illatb (I love living at the beach).
Use a special character instead of a letter, such as @ for a or ! for i.
Embed the special character within the phrase, such as Ill@tb (I love living at the beach).
Embed numerical characters, such as Ilp22g (use your handicap – I love playing 22 golf).
AARP recommends using spaces between words, such as Hello Lovie Dovie.
