Medicare Part D Appointments Continue

Open enrollment for Medicare Part D ends December 7th. We have a limited number of appointments in November available for you to set up an in-person or phone review of your current plan. Due to our move of the Great Bend office, November 22nd will be the last day for Part D appointments. Thank you for your understanding!

LEARNING TO GROW BY GIVING

Following are several ways for your family to help others and learn generosity:

· As a family, contribute to a charitable organization.

· Together help a neighbor by shoveling snow, playing with a young child, or delivering a homemade food or gift item.

· Check with a local nursing home, day care center, or community group to learn about helping projectsthat need to be done.

· Frame a child’s “work of art” for a grandparent or relative.

· Make an ornament for a volunteer who helps your family.

· Visit or call someone who can’t leave home.

· Make family “helping” projects a priority.

· Anonymously contribute supplies to other families.

· Donate books to the library or toys to a homeless shelter

· Make a gingerbread person, star, or tree paper chain to wrap around an amaryllis plant pot and deliver to a home bound person.

· Make a coupon book for each member of the family of things you will do for them; for example, make breakfast, play a game, clean out the car, etc.
