CITY MANAGER’S WEEKLY UPDATE Beware of Fake Bank Alert Scam Fake Bank Alert – In this scam, you receive a phone call that is a recording indicating your bank inactivated your credit card or debit card. The recording instructs you to call a toll free number to reactivate your card. The toll free number is not to your bank. When you call this number, you are asked to verify your account information. They may ask for your name, date of birth, card or account number and social security number. This information can then be used to commit Identity Theft running up charges on your account or obtaining new credit accounts in your name. Never give personal information over the phone unless you initiate the call to a phone number obtained from your statement. To arm yourself with information on current scams and ways to protect you, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s web page at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/consumer.shtm.

Del Castillo to Close out Texas Tunes Concert Series at MCL Grand Del Castillo, an Austin-based band previously named the best live act in that fabled music hotbed, will perform Friday, Sept. 16, at Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater as the final installment in the inaugural Texas Tunes concert series, presented by the City of Lewisville. The show will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Hall of the MCL Grand, 100 N. Charles Street, and will include a brief intermission. Tickets are $15 ($10 for seniors age 65 and older or children age 12 and younger) and can be purchased at MCLGrand.tix.com or at the Customer Service window at Lewisville City Hall, 151 W. Church Street, during regular business hours. Lewisville residents can purchase single-show tickets for $5 each, either in advance at City Hall or on the performance date at the MCL Grand box office. Current driver’s license or utility bill must be shown to receive the discounted resident rate. Del Castillo is a five-member band started as a family project in the winter of 2000 and has since become a symbol of the cross-cultural power of music with their blend of Flamenco, rock, Latin and blues. Since the 2001 release of their first CD, Brothers of the Castle, Del Castillo has received an astonishing 18 awards including SXSW/Austin Music “Album of the Year” Awards for Vida (2002) and Brotherhood (2006), ASCAP’S “Best Independent Group of the Year” in 2005, and Austin Music Pundits “Best Live Act” in 2004. Del Castillo has toured nationwide with such diverse acts as Styx, Los Lonely Boys, Ozomatli, Don Henley, Los Lobos, and Willie Nelson. They have performed at three of Willie Nelson’s 4th Of July Picnics, and at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Nelson re-recorded his song “I Never Cared for You” with the group (which is included on Del Castillo’s Brotherhood CD) and calls it “his favorite version.” The Texas Tunes series features performers from music halls and festivals throughout the state who present great music in a variety of genres, but all with that unique Texas flair that has made the state a hotbed for fans of live music. A second series of Texas Tunes shows is being planned for 2012.
