ImOn Customer Carnival — Save the Date
Join ImOn for our 9th Annual ImOn Customer Appreciation Carnival on Sunday, August 21st, at Ushers Ferry Historic Village in Cedar Rapids from 2-4pm. There will be food, games, bingo, face painting, and more. The best part is that it is FREE for all customers to attend! Register to attend at www.MyImOn.com/Carnival. More carnival announcements will be shared on social media leading up to the event, so make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We can't wait to celebrate the end of summer with you!  
Originally, Labor Day was organized to celebrate various labor associations' strengths and their contributions to America's prosperity. Now it's primarily thought of as a day of rest for workers' well-being and marks the unofficial end of summer.
In observance of Labor Day, the ImOn Communications offices will be closed from Saturday, September 3rd, through Monday, September 5th, so that our employees may rest and enjoy the holiday weekend with their families and loved ones. As always, 24-hour technical support and emergency services will still be available by calling 319-298-6484. However, billing and account questions cannot be addressed during that time. We thank you for your patience and understanding and wish you a safe and enjoyable Labor Day.

United Way Thanksgiving in July Food Drive Recap
Last month, ImOn and the United Way of Johnson and Washington counties collected non-perishable food for United Way's Thanksgiving in July fundraiser, a community-wide food drive that supports local food pantries in the area. We would like to thank everyone who donated food. Overall, we collected 232 items that were donated to the CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank and the Coralville Community Food Pantry.
While many of our favorite TV shows are still on summer hiatis, you may find yourself running out of things to watch. So we asked our employees to share some of their favorite binge-worthy series to give you some ideas of new shows to watch while you wait for the fall premieres to start up. 
How to Read Your ImOn Bill
It is ImOn's goal to provide you with a single, easy-to-read, and transparent monthly invoice for your ImOn services. It is important to us that you are able to fully understand your ImOn bill. To help with this, ImOn has created a video and website that breaks downs each section of your bill and explains each element and what they mean for you.

New 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The Federal Communication Commission has launched a new 3-digit dialing code that will connect callers to the nationwide Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for mental health crises. Just like we're trained from childhood to call 911 for immediate assistance with fire, health, or safety emergencies, 988 is designed to be a free, confidential resource for immediate mental health emergencies. 
What is a VPN? 
With many of us working from home over the past two years due to Covid, you may have had to use something called a VPN. But what exactly is a VPN and why should you use it?
VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network." It is a service that acts as a security barrier to help protect your Internet connection and what you are doing online. It encrypts your data so that your information, online activity, files sent, and IP address are all hidden from potential hackers. This allows you to safely do things online at different locations, like when you work from home or use public Wi-Fi hotspots. That's why many companies want their employees to use VPN when working from home. It helps protect important business information that could get hacked on your home network. You should always connect to your VPN before going online or accessing sensitive documents on your computer. This ensures everything is secure and all data is encrypted. While VPNs can protect your identity online and the data you send and receive, they don't protect against everything. They cannot protect your devices from malware, computer viruses, or phishing scams. To protect against these things, it is recommended you use antivirus or antimalware software. While most companies have their own VPN service for their employees to use, you can get a personal VPN to protect your home Internet data. There are many different types of VPN services that provide different types of encryptions and protection, so be sure to do your research in order to choose the perfect VPN for your needs. |
