Learn about Medicare

Will you soon be 65? Come learn how Medicare works. You will be informed of all the factors that you should consider when making your choices.

Are you already in Medicare but still have questions about your coverage options? There are Medicare counselors trained to help you understand your choices and options. Attend a presentation designed to provide you with an understanding of Medicare and the choices available to you.

Having trouble paying your Medicare premium or related medical expenses?  Find out if you may qualify for Federal assistance with your medical expenses.

Call the office to register for a presentation by April 7. The first presentation is April 9, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Luncheon program

Every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., over 50 seniors gather to have lunch together in our town hall boardroom. Participants may order the featured hot meal listed on our calendar or opt for a cold tuna salad plate or cold fruit plate.

Orders must be placed with our office by 10:30 a.m. the day before the luncheon, and the suggested donation is only $3. Some decide to bring their own lunch, which is also fine.

Following the lunch, many seniors play bingo, other board games, shoot a game of pool, or simply converse with friends. Please think about joining. We would love to have you. Transportation is available.

Drivers needed

If you are interested in volunteering once in a while for about an hour-and-a-half this is an opportunity for you. Meals are delivered to Guilderland and Altamont residents weekdays. Please call 356-1980, ext. 1048 for further information.
