DUES ARE DUE:

Please remember to pay your 2021 club dues. Even though club activities are at a standstill, we still have expenses to meet and your dues help us stay in business. We hate to take your name off our rosters, but unfortunately that will be done if dues are not paid. You may send your $10 payment to 1089 So. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, FL 32937 or drop it off at this same address M-F 8:30am-5:00pm. Checks are made payable to the 55+ Club.

VACCINE AVAILABILITY OR LACK OF:

Information regarding the availability of the Covid-19 vaccine in Florida continues to change.

Some of our members have been fortunate to have received the vaccine, while other remain on wait lists or call back lists. Others simply do not know how to maneuver the internet nor have access to a computer.

Frustrating to say the least!

Just for your information these are some of the sites to check:

http://brevard.floridahealth.gov/events/2021/01/covid19-vaccination.html.

Also check with your local Fire Departments as some have been administering the vaccine.

I doubt you will be reading this message if you don’t have a computer or aren’t internet savvy. Please contact a relative or friend to help you maneuver this process. If you know of someone who is having difficultly please offer to help.

This information is from OMNI:

“If you received your first dose of the vaccine on January 8, 9, or 11th in 2021, OMNI is on track to administer your second dose. To be clear, if you currently have an appointment scheduled for your second dose of the vaccine, that appointment will be honored at its scheduled time, date and location. “

“While OMNI Healthcare was told several weeks ago by the Governor’s office that we would receive 5,000 doses weekly, and is prepared to administer the vaccine, there is currently no supply available to OMNI. For this reason, OMNI Healthcare is no longer making appointments for new patients for vaccine. If you currently have an existing appointment with OMNI, we can reschedule your appointment with the understanding that your appointment is dependent upon OMNI receiving additional allocations of the vaccine. If OMNI does not expect to have vaccine available as your appointment time nears we will notify you in advance and you will, once again, have the option to reschedule your appointment. At this time OMNI is scheduling appointments for late February and March. All appointments with OMNI Healthcare are made in good faith and we appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time. “

These locations are prepared to vaccinate thousands of Brevard’s residents each day and is only impeded by the lack of supply. We are all patiently standing by and waiting

In Memory:

We are sad to share that two great ladies who have been long time club members passed away recently. Grace Michelson and Shirley Pinard.  Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers.

DUES ARE DUE:

If you have not paid your 2021 dues your name will be removed from our mailing lists by the end of February.  You may send your $10 payment to 1089 So. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, FL 32937 or drop it off at this same address M-F 8:30am-5:00pm.  Checks are made payable to the 55+ Club.

REMEMBER – DON’T MISS THIS GATHERING: THAT’S PUZZLING!

Please do plan on attending this Puzzle gathering. Bring any puzzle you would like to trade and pick out something new.  Remember that you must take home any puzzles of yours that are not traded.

Do you enjoy jigsaw puzzles? Many often have one set up all the time in their home, but how often do you want to work on a puzzle you’ve already mastered? We are holding a Jigsaw Puzzle exchange. We hope this exchange will be seasonal – Winter, Spring and Fall. This first gathering will be Thursday, January 21, 2021 from 1 to 2pm at the DRS Community Center. Future dates will be announced. Bring any puzzles you would like to trade. Take a few months to finish puzzles you are working on and be ready to come to the spring puzzle exchange. Watch for future dates! This activity is open to the community.

This will be a short gathering and not a long social event.

Current COVID 19 guidelines will be followed. Please wear a mask.
