“It’s a few years away,” explains Kay Page, the chair of the Council on Aging (COA). “We need to get it right, to think about the future and accommodate our needs. We plan to keep the Center open during expansion,” says Page.
The COA is “the eyes, ears and advocate for the Bellingham senior community,” notes Page who was appointed Chair last year after serving as a board member for three years. She will hold the Chair posi-tion until 2021.
She is currently searching for board members. Michael Belleville and Mingming He were appointed last month. What does she look for in a new member? “They need to be able to think things through and ex-press an opinion, have ideas and be willing to share them, and be willing to work!” (Continued on page 2)
An “ambitious plan” to ex-pand the Sen-ior Center by almost 1,300 square feet is working its way through the planning and approval process.
Saturday, November 3 9am-3pm
Bellingham Senior Center
Don’t miss this annual fair that will feature all kinds of crafts… food… song and dance. Open to all. Drop by and stay as long as you like.

Kay Page (cont’d. from front page)
Another significant sign of growth is the appointment of a new director of the Center. “Josie Dutil has great new ideas,” observes Page, “bringing inter-esting new programs focused on healthy living. A perfect fit!”
Because isolation and loneliness are often acute in a senior community, new programs are designed and scheduled to get more folks involved. The Senior Center is adding evening hours and group exercise opportunities.
The COA has its annual Craft Fair coming up on Saturday, November 3 from 9am until 3pm. “It’s near and dear to my heart,’ says Page, “…a fun day with lots of food and dancing to the music of Polka Paul.” Visitors can tour the Senior Center and chat with members of the COA board.
Kay has lived in Bellingham for 54 years. She was born in Indianapolis, raised in St. Louis, and moved to Bellingham when her father received a company promotion and moved the family east. (Her husband has since passed away.)
She has four children who are grown and married, 11 grandchildren and three great grand-daughters (a fourth great grand-daughter is expected to arrive late this month). “We have a reunion every five years around Thanksgiving.”
Back at the Senior Center, Kay looks around and says: “It’s a great place! We are very blessed to have such an active senior community in Bellingham.”
Each month, we will display the art works of Bellingham seniors. If you’d like to participate, then please contact Fred Milgram at (508) 966-4525. And if you’d like to learn how to paint, then here are the classes for you: October 3 and 10 from 1pm to 3:30pm; internationally-known artist Darrell Crow will lead you step by step to paint “Bubbling Brook”. “If they can sign their name, then they can paint,” says Darrell. $25 includes all the supplies you’ll need. Please sign up at the front desk.

Medicare Open Enrollment:
Now through December 7th
Every year, Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO) plans can change their premiums, co-pays, deductibles, formularies (list of drugs covered) and preferred pharma-cies. In the case of Medicare Advantage Plans they can also drop providers from their Plan. It’s important to review your options every year to make sure you have the plan that works best for you for the next year. We are anticipating that there may be new plans and choices. Along with these new plans and choices, we expect there will be some aggressive marketing with an unusual high volume of plan-sponsored meetings (see box below left).
REMEMBER! YOU NEED TO BE SURE THAT YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AND OTHER PROVIDERS ARE COVERED IN THE PLAN’S NETWORK BEFORE YOU CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT MEDICARE PLAN. YOU SHOULD ALSO BE SURE YOUR MEDI-CATIONS ARE COVERED AS WELL.
Assistance is available from the SHINE program. Trained SHINE volunteers offer free, confidential counseling on all aspects of health insurance to anyone on Medicare. Our counse-lor is Jean Roy and she will be available from 9am—noon on these Wednesdays in Octo-ber: 10/3, 10/17, 10/31 and also on Monday, 10/22. Please make an appointment by call-ing the Senior Center at (508) 966-0398.
