They are: Peggy Alberts, Joyce Ander, Josephine Bout, Debra Bradshaw, Paul and Debbie Brunder, Anna and Buddy Dennis, Judy and Tom Fleming, Lorraine Gates, Betsy Hastings, Sandy and H. Richard Huttas, Karen Jones, Mary and Nick Kanelos, Renee Lasky, Jean Madziarek, Lynn Martin, Barbara Medel, Halina Moss, Shirley Prince, Marcia Rose, Judy Ross, Bridget Savage, Karen Sherin, Joann and David Sherman, Donna Skowronski, Rosemary L. Smith, Corinne Steinberg, Karen Strecker, Nancy Torres, Carla Ward, & Charles and Mary Ziegele. Welcome to all of you from the Senior Staff. We hope you find many things to interest you in this newsletter and that you find a home away from home here at the Center. Dear Seniors, As I write this, I am still looking forward to this year's Grandparent’s Day program . However, by the time you receive it, it will hopefully be another great memory that you and your grandchildren are able to share forever. Warren Township hosted a shredding event on May 21st. It was quite successful with our residents taking advantage of this free service to bring us 86 bins of their important documents to have shredded securely. I want to remind you that it is important to check your credit reports periodically especially if you suspect you may be a victim of identity theft. We can help you with this. Our Township Administrator, Ryan Johnson, is available to check your credit report for you. Please call him to make an appointment. His number is 847-2441101 extension *125. Now that the weather has finally turned warm, please remember NEVER to leave your pets in your car. Animals are easily overcome by heat exhaustion. On a hot summer day, the inside of a vehicle heats up quickly. For instance, on an 85 degree day, the temperature inside your car with the windows open will reach 102 degrees in ten minutes. In 30 minutes it will get to 120 degrees. Parking in the sun and on asphalt can increase those temperatures. Within ten minutes an animal can become very ill and even die. If we spot an animal in a vehicle on our campus, we will try to locate the owner but, if we cannot, we will call the Lake County Sheriff department and have the animal removed. This kind of neglect is considered a Class C misdemeanor. If you stop by the Center, please feel free to bring your pet inside with you. You just need to make sure they are on a leash or in your arms and are not likely to bite anyone. Please leave your pets at home while you run errands or take them inside with you. Suzanne D. Simpson Dear Members, The bulk of the construction has been completed downstairs in the Flex Room. Although there is more work to do, we have been able to use the enlarged space to move most of you off the wait lists for Theresa’s classes. We hope you enjoy the new space. As you know, all the parking spaces near the building now require a handicapped parking placard. Those spaces are still not enough to serve all of our disabled members. Those spaces are most in demand on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please remember this when deciding where to park. If you can easily walk from the parking lot but have a placard, please park in the handicapped spots in the lots. Those of you who attend Body Conditioning classes should always park in the parking lots. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of those who cannot walk from the lots. Remember, our Senior Center staff are always willing to park your car and get it for you if there are no spots in the circle available and you are unable to walk from the parking lot. I am very excited that Judy Sneyd has been trained and will be offering a class specifically for those of you with Parkinson’s disease. This class will be on Thursdays at 12:30 beginning July 7th. See Page 21 for more details. Save the date: Walmar t phar macists will be her e on Wednesday, October 19th to pr ovide flu, pneumonia and whooping cough vaccines. There will be more information in the next newsletter. On Monday, July 18th, the Senior Center will close at 1:00 PM. We will be having a staff training and no staff will be available. There will be NO Movement and Balance, Double-deck Pinochle, Chess, or Computer Lessons that afternoon. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, those that are dual eligible can now receive the benefits of Medicare Part A, Part B and Part D prescription coverage in one comprehensive healthcare plan. By encompassing Medicare and Medicaid benefits into one plan, CMS and DHFS hope to improve the quality of care for those who qualify without, cost shifting or the crossover claims that often make simultaneously billing Medicare and Medicaid difficult. This program began in 2014 and those that qualify who are new to the program may have already begun to receive notices and applications through the mail. You will be automatically enrolled in the MMAI program if: You are a resident of the Greater Chicago or Central Illinois Area 21+ years old and entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Part B and Part D Eligible for and enrolled in Medicaid due to Aged, Blind and Disabled category of Assistance Do not receive developmental disability services or participate in Home and Community-Based Services waiver program for Adults with Disabilities Are not eligible for Medicaid due to spend-down clause Do not participate in the Illinois Medicaid Breast and Cervical Cancer program Do not have Comprehensive Third Party Insurance Even if you are automatically enrolled in MMAI, you can opt-out at anytime. Because it is a program designed to save the state money, it may not be beneficial to the individual. You may choose to opt out. By choosing to opt-out, individuals will receive separate Medicare and Medicaid as they do currently. If you wish to enroll in the MMAI program or have any questions, you may contact an enrollment counselor at Illinois Client Enrollment Services at 1-877-912-8880 or 1-866-565-8576(TTY). For general questions about this program, please feel free to contact either Sherie Palmer at extension *509 or myself at extension *513. LIHEAP SUMMER PROGRAM HIATUS As of the printing of this newsletter, the information we have is that the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, provided by the Community Action Partnership of Lake County, will be postponed for the summer of 2016. This program is designed to help reduce the costs associated with the electric bill and gas bill of individuals that qualify. Unfortunately, due to funding, LIHEAP will not commence this summer but is set to continue this fall. Please continue to read and check the Warren Township Senior Services newsletter for updates. Left: Sandra Parisi, Sylvia Sheeler, and Brenda Pates select their plants so Sue Simpson can create pots as beautiful as the ones Cele Bona (right w/Jamaal Malone) took home. 12 Card Making Class - Sue Cusimano is coming back to share her talents and assist you with making four all occasion cards on Wednesday, September 14th from 11:30 to 2:30 PM.

If you have ANY problems with any of the cab companies, please call Joanne Adams at 847-244-1101 ext. *503. It is most helpful to have the cab number and date of travel when reporting a problem with a particular cab driver or dispatcher. American Taxi and Gurnee Red & Black Flash Cab accept our tickets. Please remember that if you are calling the companies to ask if they serve a particular area, you must say you have the Warren Township tickets - not the name of the town in which you live. They have our services under Warren Township. If you want to travel to Rosemont for a show, the taxi service is complicated because the City of Rosemont will only allow cab companies licensed by them to pick up at the theater. Special arrangements have to be made. Please remember that we are unable to accept fifty or hundred dollar bills for payment for any program. 13 Sunday Monday 3 Tuesday 4 5 8:15-9:00 Chair/Movement Mix 9:15– 10:00 Movement/Balance
