Information & Referral

May 2008

Spring has really blossomed into a beautiful thing. Flowers are gracing our lawns and the flowering trees are beautiful. I love the fresh colors of spring. It's time for fresh starts.

If you haven't visited the Center in a while, now is the time for a fresh start, time to get rid of the depressive winter blues. Some of you will be able to start planting flowers and vegetables. Be careful not to overdue, start gradually. Silver Sneakers classes can do a lot to loosen your joints and prepare for spring and summer activities. Any activity does much to improve mental and physical well being. GET INVOLVED!!

With Tax season officially over you can now direct your attention to TAX/RENT Rebates with a June 30 deadline. Please call for an appointment if possible, so I can give you proper attention. Walk-ins are OK as long as I have no appointments.

I recently returned from a Pace plus training event. Some things have changed but, for the most part, Pace/Pacenet is the best kept secret in PA. If you are single, with yearly 2006 income below $23,500 you qualify for one of the programs. Married combined income must be below $31,800, even if only one is applying. If you've never applied, see me and we can apply on-line. This plan is restricted to PA residents and for use in PA pharmacies only. (Can't use while snowbirding in Florida!!)

Get the word out-Pace plus is credible coverage for Medicare Part D. Stop by if you have any questions about these changes.

May 13th I'll be taking interested individuals to Lancaster to get their Non-Driving ID cards. There is a sign-up sheet on the table along with a list of items required.

As you read this, I will either be on my way back from vacation or on my way to my son's wedding in Thailand. Peggy or Jim will be able to answer any questions you may have.

Enjoy the month of May with all it's beauty. Summer is coming and with it are the Farmers Market Food Vouchers. We do not receive them until the end of June so stay tuned.

Have a great May!
