Autumn blessings! Thank you to all who filled out a

survey at the center. I have a better idea of what

you want out of your center, and I will do my best to

improve what we provide.

As I write this newsletter, there are many changes

occurring behind the scenes when it comes to the

various programs we administer. Lots can affect

what is going on, from the State and Federal budg-

ets to more refined ways of processing things.

Please be patient with us as we adjust.

There is a lot coming our way. We are looking at up-

grading our recordkeeping to a system that allows

guests to use a credit-card key to “log in” for activi-

ties and other events. Also, a new bus should be

coming our way soon to improve the comfort of our

passengers.

So, just like the seasons, we are always changing.

We do our best to weather whatever comes our

way. We appreciate the support that all of you give

us. We do this for you and we are truly grateful.

MEDICARE MINUTES Open Enrollment season is here!

At the time of this printing, the fed-

eral budget was still not decided. The

MMAP program could lose funding

which would affect counselors helping you during

this open enrollment time. We are hoping to con-

tinue with the MMAP program to assist you with your

Medicare/Medicaid needs.

If you want to take the time to compare plans,

MMAP counselors can assist you with giving you in-

formation to make an informed decision. We ask

that you call us for an appointment time to ensure

you have our undivided attention. Some of us wear

many hats and MMAP is just one. We do our best to

make sure this time of year to assist all we can in

this tight time period. Please bring with you your

red/white/blue Medicare card, a list of your current

prescriptions and dosages and any other health in-

surance cards you have. These will help us under-

stand what your current coverage is and make com-

paring future plans a bit easier for you.

costume you wish to arrive in is fine with us. There

will be a costume contest. We will have a photo “boo

-th” for your photo taking. Perhaps we will play a

game or two, or some other eerie fun … who knows

what fun we will scare up for you!

over, and guests under 60 must pay $7. Please call

AARP Safe Driving Course Why take the AARP Safe driver course? Because driving has changed since you first got your license, and do-

ing so could save you money. Cars have changed, and so have traffic rules, driving conditions and the roads

you travel everyday. Some drivers 50+ have never looked back since they got their first driver’s license, but

even the most experienced drivers can benefit from refreshing their driving skills. By taking a driver refresher

course you’ll learn current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques and how to operate your vehicle

more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment. You'll learn how you can manage and

accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time. In addition, you'll learn:

• Research based safety strategies that can reduce the likelihood of having a crash

• Proper use of seat belts, air bags, antilock brakes and new technology found in cars today

• Ways to monitor your own and others driving skills and capabilities

• The effects of medications on driving

• The importance of eliminating distractions, such as eating, smoking and using a cellphone.

After completing the course, you will have a greater appreciation of driving challenges and a better under-

standing of how to avoid potential collisions and injuring yourself and others.

You may be eligible to receive an insurance discount upon completing the course, so consult your insurance

agent for details.

The Mid County Senior Center in Daggett will be hosting a AARP Safe Driving Course Oct. 19-20. The class is

$15 for AARP members and $20 for nonmembers.

The class will meet from 9 a.m.- noon with an hour lunch break and resume 1-3 p.m. Thursday. Schedule for

Friday is 9 a.m.–noon. Lunch is available both days through the senior nutrition program. Registration is nec-

essary for both class and meal. Call the Mid County Senior Center, 753-6986.

NEW EXERCISE CLASS The M&M Community Foundation has provided

funding for a Sit & Get Fit Exercise Program to begin

Oct. 4 at the Mid County Senior Center in Daggett.

The class will be held weekly on Wednesdays and

Fridays from 10-10:30 a.m. and continue for six

weeks. Certified health and wellness instructors

from the YMCA will teach the class, which will in-

clude weights and bands. Light refreshments will be

provided after each class. Please join us!
