Tuesday, March 11th @ 1:00 pm: The Town of Ridgefield Commission on Aging and the Ridgefield Library present Karen Facini, VP Branch Manager and Frederick Bambico, Teller at M & T Bank in Ridgefield, who will present a special talk on Identity Theft as part of the monthly Senior Voices series.
It’s important to learn how to identify the signs of identity theft and fraud in order to protect yourself. Karen and Frederick have combined approximately forty-three years of experience in the banking industry, including first-hand experience with customers who have had their identity stolen. In most cases (95% of the time) you do not get your money back. Fortunately, most banks will assist victims. Come learn about red flags, digital payment apps, phishing, verification codes and when not to “Click”.
Senior Voices is a free event and a hybrid program. Individuals may attend in person and on-line. Light refreshments will be served. If you have any questions, please contact the Commission on Aging at [email protected].

The Ridgefield Library Association is seeking applications from Ridgefield residents for membership on its Board of Directors. Self-nominations are encouraged. The three-year term begins on July 1.
The Library Board is a working board, with up to 16 members who are responsible for the organization’s fiduciary oversight, strategic planning and policy-setting. Board members take an active role in helping the Library raise the nearly 30% of its annual operating budget that comes through fundraising, donations and gifts.
The Board seeks diverse, broad and balanced representation of people, skill sets and experience from the community. Examples of particular skills in demand for new members include, but are not limited to, finance, development/philanthropy and technology. Board Members are expected to serve on two subcommittees and be willing to assume a leadership position as needed. Library or nonprofit board experience a plus. We encourage all interested parties to apply.
Completed applications must be received by March 21, 2025 for consideration. For more information on the roles and responsibilities of Library Board members, and to apply, please contact Library Director Brenda McKinley at [email protected]
