LOOK TWICE,

SAVE A LIFE

Summer is still here and Autumn

weather is very nice to ride in which means there

are still more motorcycles on the road and you

should be very aware of your surroundings.

Before you pull out in the street make sure you look twice please ……….. motorcycles are everywhere and can be difficult to see in the road especially

the black ones! Like mine!! So take an extra

minute or so to look out for that motorcycle that

just might be me ridin’ on down the road!!

Long Term Care Seminar

You may have spent years carefully working and planning so that you have sufficient income for a comfortable retirement. But what happens if you or your spouse need to have long-term care? The cost of long-term care services provided in

the home, at a community facility or in a nursing home may not be covered by Medicare

or other medical plans. With the average annual cost of a private room in a nursing home

currently hovering around $105,645, the expenses can deplete your retirement savings. And this figure does not take into account any lifestyle choices and extra amenities. Quality

care and facilities could cost well into six figures annually. Very sobering figures.

Join us as we learn from Cheryl Williams from Morgan Stanley the procedures involved when

dealing with Long Term Care.

When: Wednesday, September 27

Time: 1:00 pm

Sign up sheet on the Foyer table so we know how many to prepare for!

Hamburg Seniors Share…...

Fish Tales Board for September

Time to let those who like to fish share their tales of the “one that got away” or didn’t! We can include a photo with a person’s out-stretched arms showing us “how bit it was” if someone wasn’t quick enough with their camera to catch the fish that was almost caught!! Feel free to include a short note, if you like, of the tale telling us who, where and when the fish was caught, or the “struggle” to reel it in. As always, mount your photo on another piece of paper with your name and brief description written below the picture for identification. All photos will be returned to you at the end of each month in the large envelope on the lower left corner of the board. You are also welcome to suggest themes for upcoming months as well.

New & Used Sale 2017 Like I explained last month, we are experimenting with a separate day for the New & Used Sale.

We are going to hold the New & Used Sale as it’s own gig and it will happen on September 16. The event will be held in the dining room………..yeah, cool!! That means we have lots more room

to display all your really cool stuff!! And that means it will be easier to get around to look at everything! The Pool Room gets way too crowded during the New & Used Sale during the

Bazaar so this should be really really nice!! Plus we will have peeps checking you out at both entrances into the Dining Roomn which means it will go faster. Nice, huh?!!!

So bring it on folks. Bring your gently used garage-sale type items in, we’re ready for you!! Just please please please, same rules apply …………… no shoes, no clothes, no large furniture or major

appliances plus please make sure it’s clean. And I am going to need your help as in I need volunteers…………..PLEASE !! :) Sign up sheet on the foyer table……… :)

Updated News About Your Donated Eye Glasses By: Barb Yek

Thank you to everyone who brings in their gently used eyeglasses.

I am the new contact person and will be taking your donated glasses to MOST Ministries in Ann Arbor where I volunteer once a week.

Many of you probably remember Katherine Carlton who was one of the previous contact persons. MOST Ministry stands for Mission Opportunity Short Term & gives many people the chance to go on

short term mission trips, many of which are taking eye glasses to developing countries around the world where people otherwise would not be able to get them.

This year around 10 teams have or are going out to Nicaragua, Guatemala, Guinea, India, China, & S. Africa to name a few. They also send out additional teams for medical, dental, construction, safe water,

nursing & health. I was blessed to go on my first mission trip which was a dental/eye glass combination the end of June

to Nicaragua. We saw close to 700 people and gave out almost 800 pairs of glasses. It was very rewarding & uplifting to see the smiles on peoples faces when they received their glasses & could

actually see & be able to read. This then helps children to succeed in school, helps an adult to secure a job & support their family, helps a senior to continue living independently. It was a wonderful way for

me to share God's love & the many blessings He has given me.

So thank you again for donating your glasses you are not able to use any more yourselves. Someone

will be so thankful to receive them.

Reserve your lunch for Wednesday, September 6 to help us celebrate your friends’ birthdays. This month the following members are celebrating their

September Birthdays

Produce Cart

You may have noticed a new item in the dining room……………..a produce cart. Say what?? Yep, a produce cart.

We received a produce cart from the Livingston County Hunger Council who was awarded monies to help low income and vulnerable populations such as seniors have

access to heathy food products such as fruits and vegetables. They plan to continue supplying the produce cart with fruits and vegetables from Gleaner weekly produce distributions or from the Hunger Councils local community garden network. At this

writing, we have only received the initial produce they brought with the cart but I do expect to see more, I just do not know when! In the meantime, I have put tomatoes

and cukes out from our gardens and several of you have brought in produce from your own gardens. Enjoy!!

Traveling with Hamburg Seniors

A passport, passcard or enhanced driver’s license are REQUIRED for Canadian Trips!!

Also, please remember to bring your driver’s license or state authorized photo ID on all casino trips!

It’s required if you win big!

Just a reminder that on the overnight trips a $50 deposit secures your reservation. It is also a very good idea to make your reservation earlier than the stipulated “monies due date” as trips like

that fill up fairly quick at the Bianco level. By getting your $50 deposit in, it guarantees your spot!
