A Big “Thank You” to our Trip Volunteers We want to thank Marlene Benner, Debbie Haigler, Dick Haigler, Pat Fong and Linette Young for going the extra mile to make FSC’s trip a success. Thank you for showing up early to make sure everyone gets their seat, providing entertainment on the bus, assisting participants with entering the venue and making sure everyone gets their lunch. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks Don and Stan! Volunteering to wash dirty dishes isn’t a glamorous job, but Don and Stan make it happen Monday—Friday. with a smile!
FREMONT GIVES New Lobby Furniture! Can you help with the final pieces? We are thrilled and grateful to report that we will be receiving a grant in excess of $7,000 from Fremont’s Candle Lighters organization (which operates the annual Ghost House at the Fremont Hub), plus a generous additional $1500 grant from our Senior Center Builder’s Fund and $1,000 from Elks Lodge #2121, to replace most of our lobby furniture! The high-quality beautiful and
comfortable furniture will match our lobby quilt and other Center design elements. But because commercial grade furniture is so expensive, we still need an additional $5,000 to complete the set. Can you please help?
Become a Senior Center Member Members enjoy the benefits of reduced lunch, trip, and class fees as well as priority for limited capacity events! Members may also receive this monthly newsletter mailed directly to your home for $15 per year.

Medicare is continuing to mail new Medicare cards to people in California. If you haven’t gotten your new card yet, don’t worry! After your new Medicare card arrives in the mail, you can start using it right away. Here are 3 things to do when your new card arrives: 1. Carry your new Medicare card with you. 2. Destroy your old Medicare card. No need to hold onto it — it’s time to say goodbye! 3. Keep your Medicare Advantage Plan card. You might have noticed your new Medicare card looks a little different, but rest assured your Medicare coverage and benefits are still the same. Visit Medicare.gov/NewCard to learn more about your new Medicare card.
