First, I had to sign on the board with Dave's credentials.  

Next, I (Kathy Urban) got two invitations to an event from Sandy and Tim.  To see it, I had to enter my email and (red flag!) the password to my email, which request made me get out quickly. 

So I suggest if you get anything fishy, delete it.

I also received a fake evite from Mary yesterday and one from Sandy today. I identified them as suspicious just by looking at them. Not sure who or what was compromised but just trash anything unexpected and don't click any links

I received a fake evite from someone not in DVOA. I texted the person and they said their email had been hackes. A lot of email hacking taking place and it looks like fake evites are the favored method lately of gaining access to people's email or worse, downloading malware.

I, too, received invitations to parties from, purportedly, Mary and Tim.  Just a couple of hours before that I had read an online article about exatly this "invitation" scam.  It appears that someone is hijacking club members' names for these e-mails.

... I guess this also means that I am not invited to parties at Mary's and Tim's homes?

Steve -- I think we should still show up at their homes, I bet they have good snacks.
