Volunteers Needed at the Senior Center of Rainier

 Dear Seniors & Friends,


Thank you all for supporting the Senior Center of Rainier.  We appreciate everyone's help
keeping our Senior Center operating smoothly.  We still need volunteers.  I have attached 
a copy of our volunteer form.  Anyone who wants to help can find something on our form, 
or add a job description for something they can contribute to the Senior Center.

There are volunteers who bake for bake sales, host BINGO, fill napkin holders, etc.  The
list on our form is simply suggestions.  You may choose a volunteer activity that's not listed
here on our form.  We appreciate the contributions made by our volunteers more than mere 
words can express!

Sincerely,

Linda Johnson

Medicare Advantage Information

Update:

Aetna Medicare Advantage and Premera Blue Cross Medicare Advantage are pulling out of the State of Washington.

Humana Medicare Advantage isn't pulling out of the State of Washington.  YFM will only be handling United Healthcare Medicare Advantage and straight Medicare.

This is as much as I know right now.

 Dear Seniors & Friends,

I went to see Dr. Talbot at Yelm Family Medicine Thursday.  When I went back in on Friday to be checked I received the notice below.  Humana and another Medicare Advantage Insurance company are pulling out of the State of Washington.  YFM will only be handling United Healthcare and straight Medicare.  They only found out about this change a couple of days ago.

Elizabeth Thurnstedt will be at the Senior Center on the 16th of October for anyone who has questions about their Medicare insurance plan.  If you have questions or concerns, you may contact her at:
