Dibble Senior Citizens News
Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!
We have arranged for May’s Home Health to come on Friday, 10/23, to give flu shots again. Last time, we ran out of vaccine. Be at the center at 10:30 and bring your Medicare card or you will pay $20.00.
Our sick list is improved, with folks on the mend. This is especially a hard time of the year for seniors on Medicare Part D, as some will fall into the doughnut hole on their prescription drugs. For those of you who don’t know, that means seniors have to pay 100% of their medication until January 1, 2010!!! Sometimes, that is more than their entire retirement check!!
Oh, well, everyone has their own sad story to tell. Those Wall Street CEO’s are getting flack over their big bonuses at tax payer’s expense and that Limbaugh fellow can’t buy the Rams football team, so what’s such a big deal about floating seniors down the river on a fast log at the end of the year?
Remember Tuesday, Nov. 10th, is Payback Time at Regional Food Bank. We will leave at 12:00 noon from the center. Be there or be square!! Remember, we will be voting on Friday as to where we will go on our next field trip!! If you want a voice in this decision, get your hand in the air!!!
Our report for September is as follows: 714 Senior meals, including Meals on Wheels; 416 food baskets given out to subsidize food budgets, averaging 104 per week.
All for now…………………….
