ACCEPTED AFTER THE MARCH 31ST DEADLINE AND THE COMMUNITY ACTION PART-

NERSHIP PEOPLE STOPPED COMING TO OUR CENTER AT THE END OF FEBRUARY.

They may be taking applications, however, they have not gotten any authorization on

that yet. I believe they have their building back in working order. The Winter Crisis Pro-

gram is over with which normally means they will not be doing any shut offs during

that period of time. However, with the sheltering in place going on presently I under-

stand the public utilities are not doing any shut offs while that is going on due to the

economic hardship it is presenting to many people. YOU MAY CALL 937-376-7747

FOR THE XENIA OFFICE AND THE DAYTON HEADQUARTERS OFFICE IS 937-341-5000.

You may call to ask about any other assistance going on for utilities. The PIPP Plus

and Weatherization Programs are ongoing throughout the year.

We are fine for donations of Durable Medical Equipment. The only donation of anything that we

really need are the type of walkers with the seat attached. We have plenty of everything else and

we have no more room to store any more items. Thank you very much if you have donated any-

thing to us because that is how we can keep the loan program going. If you have borrowed any-

thing and no longer need it we would appreciate your returning the items whatever it may be.

The free time to change Medicare Advantage Plans ended March 31st as well. Unless

you just qualified for some Extra Help, or one of the Medicare Savings Programs, you

will not be allowed to change any Medicare Advantage Plans of standalone Drug Plans

either. You will have to keep what you have until Open Enrollment comes back Octo-

ber 15th which will allow you to choose different plan to begin January 1, 2021. We

continue to be here to help you with Medicare and Medicaid questions as always.

There is help for the same things at the Greene County Council on Aging 888-795-

8600 or 937-376-5547. OSHIIP in Columbus is 1-800686-1578.

Hopefully with Spring upon us we will be able to get out to enjoy the sunshine and

flowers, nature abounds. Please do follow the advice of our Governor Mike DeWine

and his staff in keeping yourself and others safe. The old saying goes “Better safe

than sorry”.

HOORAY, Spring Has Arrived? We Hope! Unfortunately, FOG could still be a major problem in the

mornings. If it does make driving unsafe, we will have to cancel rides until it lifts, and it is SAFE

to begin transporting clients. IF we must cancel your ride, we will notify you after 07:30 AM and

prior to your pickup time.

We also need your HELP! Do you know someone who is sixty (60) years old or older that lives in

Fairborn or Bath Township and IS NOT a member of your Fairborn Senior Center? If you do, they

DO NOT get our Monthly Newsletter! That also means they may not know about your Fairborn

Senior Center’s Transportation Services. Please ask them if they could use transportation to

medical appointments, grocery shopping, or general shopping at any of the Fairborn stores or the

Mall. How about getting transportation to the bank or credit union, a beauty or barber shop, or

maybe to visit a relative or friend in the hospital? Just tell them to give us a call at the Senior

Center, 878-4141 and ask for Transportation Services, to get a client sign-up package sent

out. Signing up doesn’t cost anything but is required for us to provide the transportation they

may need. After they are signed up as a client, all they must do is call us and get booked for their

ride. Now that you have done your non-member friend a favor, ask yourself if you could use our

transportation services? If you could and aren’t yet signed up as a client, just follow your own

recommendation and give us a call to get your own sign-up package. Then we can provide you

the transportation you might need. Oh yes, remember, WE DO bring our clients into your Fairborn

Senior Center for activities and fellowship! Maybe your non-member friend would like to join you

here for the activities and fellowship. All they have to do is fill out a membership application

(available from our receptionist) and pay the $20.00 annual fee and they too will get their own

copy of the newsletter and the same benefits, of the Fairborn Senior Center activities and fellow-

ship that you get. THANKS for your HELP in getting the word out about our services.
