Members who’s dues were not paid by the end of February were removed from our membership list and will have not received this newsletter. However, once dues have been paid we will happily renew your membership. If you know someone who has not paid their 2019 dues, please encourage them to do so right away. Payments can be made at the DRS Community Center, Bingo or given to any committee member. ALL members are being asked to fill out a new membership card. WHY? We are collecting emergency contact names and phone numbers. If possible, please provide a name and number of a person NOT living in your home. First, unfortunately, we had no one to contact when a couple of our members recently had falls. Secondly, after 17 years the membership cards have gotten rather messy! Thirdly, this is a good way to update all
of your information.

AVOID SCAMS
What should you do if someone calls and asks for your information, for money, or threatens to cancel your health benefits if you don’t share your personal information? Hang up! It’s a scam. Scam artists may try to steal your personal information by calling you and asking for your current Medicare Number to get your new Medicare card.
Medicare will never call uninvited and ask you to give personal information or money to get your new Medicare Number or card. Go to MyMedicare.gov to learn what to do if you get a suspicious call like this.
CHESS OPPORTUNITIES
Want to play or interested in learning? Contact club member Dick Kircher at [email protected] or 321-777-0255 to discuss the current chess activity in our area.
SNAIL MAIL VS. EMAIL
The 55+ Club has been working on reducing the cost of postage incurred with the mailing of the club newsletter. Many members have signed up to receive their newsletter via email rather than postal mail. If you have mail access, we are asking you to sign up NOW. At some point, maybe soon, it may occur that the cost of postage becomes prohibitive and the choice will be rather than discontinue the newsletter, those who have email will only receive it electronically. Please contact Louise S. at 321/202-7337 or [email protected] to sign up for this service.
QUOTES AND QUIPS
We would like to add quotes to the club newsletter if space permits and I’m asking members to send me their favorite quotes or words that have meaning to you. Thank you! 321/202-7337 or [email protected]
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

NEW ACTIVITIES
The 55+ Club is always interested to hear of additional activities that you would like to see offered. That being said, if you have an activity thought you would like to share we hope you would be willing to assist to make it happen. Please contact Terry Mellon at 321/773-7705 or [email protected] to share your ideas.
