DOES YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE HAVE A GOLD STAR?
In the upper right-hand corner of your driver’s license or ID card, you should see a gold star. We encourage you to take a moment to check. It’s the sign that your credential is REAL ID compliant.
Why does this matter? After Oct. 1, 2020, if you do not have this gold star, you will need more than just a driver’s license to prove your identity to board a commercial airline.
The REAL ID Act is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security effort to apply consistent security measures and standards across all state-issued credentials. To become REAL ID
compliant, visit a DMV offi ce and bring original documents that validate your identity. Social Security Number and residential address. Go to www.FLHSMV.gov/whattobring to learn which documents you need to bring or call customer service at 850-617-2000.
DAY TRAVEL RECAPS
The trip to Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of Art in Winter Park on November 19th was spectacular! Gorgeous works of art of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The group enjoyed a movie on the way out and back on the bus, a little shopping and a delicious lunch at PF Changs.
Additionally on Dec. 14th thirty eight folks went to St. Augustine to enjoy the winery, sightseeing, shopping, eating and topped off the evening with the Holiday of Lights Tour.
