We cordially invite you to a breakfast seminar in West Chester
Cybersecurity: How Exposed Is Your Business to a Cyberattack? Thursday, November 1, 2018
Continental Breakfast 7:30 – 8:00 a.m. Program 8:00 – 9:00 a.m.
West Chester Golf and Country Club 111 W. Ashbridge Street West Chester, PA 19380
Large businesses have hardened their cyber defenses. Cyber criminals have grown more sophisticated and now focus on easier targets: organizations that do not have enterprisegrade IT departments.
It’s critical for small and mid-size businesses to understand the nature of modern cyberattacks and realize that antivirus software and firewalls alone will no longer keep their organizations safe. In today’s threat landscape, IT security is not exclusively the responsibility of IT professionals.
Please join us as we address different types of cybersecurity challenges in the workplace and offer insight into how to combat them through a layered defense that includes IT, training, and insurance.
Citing real-world examples, we will discuss:
• How modern cyber criminals access your data, money, and people • What traditional security measures are still required • What new security measures are now required to protect your business
• What to do when you suspect your business has suffered a cybersecurity breach • How to mitigate and contain your losses after a data incident
• The difference between what you think you know about your cybersecurity insurance coverage and what you should know • How to identify what your insurance policy does (or, in many instances, does not) cover • The moment you leave the room, what practical, actionable steps you should take to protect your business and your clients
Our speakers will be Erik Gudmundson, Vice President of Business Development with Pegasus Technologies, LLC, which provides IT services for organizations that do not have a full-time IT department, and Dennis B. LeVasseur, CIC, CRIS®, Senior Vice President with BMT Insurance Advisors.
The program will be hosted by Anthony J. Poluch, Jr., Senior Vice President with Bryn Mawr Trust, and Robert W. Eaddy, President of The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware.

UHS Players Present The Curious Savage
The Curious Savage is the story of an elderly widow named Mrs. Savage, whose husband has left her $10 million dollars. She intends to give the entire fortune away to people who wish to pursue their “foolish dreams,” but her stepchildren strongly object. To prevent her from doing away with their family’s wealth and ruining their legacy, they have her committed to a sanatorium called The Cloisters, and it is among the gentle residents there that she finds her true family. The Curious Savage is a warm comedy that compares the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the greed and hostility of so-called “normal people.”

NPR’s From The Top with Guest Host Peter Dugan Broadcasts from Longwood Gardens
Celebrates Young Musicians from Greater Philadelphia
Episode airs on WRTI, NOV 11 at 3PM
Young musicians from Greater Philadelphia will appear on an upcoming episode of From the Top, the hit NPR radio program featuring America’s best young classical musicians, with Philadelphia-native, pianist and Guest Host Peter Dugan. The episode, taped at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in September, will air on WRTI on Sunday, November 11 at 3 PM and on participating stations nationwide and by podcast at fromthetop.org beginning November 5.
The broadcast features local musicians including 18-year-old violinist Akili Farrow from Philadelphia performing Sonatensatz in C Minor by Johannes Brahms with pianist Peter Dugan; 15-year-old pianist Angeline Ma from Berwyn, Pennsylvania performing Waltz in F major, Op. 34 no. 3 and Waltz in A flat major, Op. 42 by Frédéric Chopin and I. Prelude from Eight Concert Études, Op 40 by Nikolai Kapustin; and 17-year-old violinist Faustina Housner from Cherry Hill, New Jersey performing Histoire du Tango: Cafe 1930 by Astor Piazzolla with 18-year-old guitarist Ria Mondak from New York, New York. Faustina Housner has also received From the Top’s Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award in conjunction with her performances on the show.

Broadcast on more than 220 stations nationwide to an audience of nearly half a million listeners, From the Top is the most popular weekly one-hour music program on public radio. Young performers share their passion for classical music, and speak about their non-musical lives, from career goals and family traditions to hidden talents, school, and community life. From the Top appeals to diverse audiences, but is especially suited for ages 7 and up.
Support for this broadcast of From the Top is provided by Patti and Chip Wilson.
