On Tuesday, November 4,  Network of Community Ministries Seniors’ Net division hosted Dana Schulz,  as the speaker at our monthly senior seminar.  Dana, an expert on the Medicare Program, presented timely and important information on the program including upcoming changes and what to expect in 2015.  Attendees Pat Rowden, Darlene Martin and Nita Green appreciated the program and the valuable information given to them.

 As the enrollment period is quickly coming to an end,  Dana has scheduled individual appointments with many attendees to go over their individual plans and make needed changes.   We thank Dana for her time in keeping us up to date on the many changes to the Medicare Program.
