From the Editor, Pam Libby

Thank you all for your input!  (Remember this Newsletter is published for YOU and I would still love to hear from you about
    what type of “news” you would like to read.) 

Your stories don’t need to be long……just a paragraph would do!  We would love any pictures that would go along with your story!

I’m looking forward to hearing your input AND receiving articles from you!

I received the following email from one of our retirees…this could be “food for thought” for the next Newsletter!

    “I thought Stan Sylvester's article on retirement communities in the July issue was excellent.  I'd like to hear more stories from
     people who have relocated, either locally or far from here, after retirement.  What were the biggest challenges?  What advice 
    would you offer others as they evaluate a possible move? “

 Unum Retirees Website

The Unum Retirees Website  http://www.unumretirees.org/  has been updated with specifics on Unum Retiree benefits and 
contacts by bands of retirement year, thanks to Linda Levesque and Karen Kochjar of Unum HR. The change from Anthem
to UnitedHealthcare involved lots of details being addressed.

 The benefits outlines are provided in PDF format needing Adobe Reader to load.

Please have patience with the Under Age 65 UnitedHealthcare medical plan which loads slowly due to the length of the document
-- lots of details.

 Elements of the Website include:

§ A Welcome Page that covers Mission & Objectives;

§ Board Member Contact Info;

§ Benefits Contact Listing;

§ Basic Medical Plans Based on Year of Retirement;

§ Retiree Benefits Described on the Unum Website;

§ Access to Newsletters;

§ Volunteer Contacts in Non-Profit Agencies;

§ Unum's Volunteer Service Grant Program (Unum will donate $1 per hour for volunteer work for  a 501C3 
  (non-profit) firm.)

§ By-Laws 

§ If you have any questions about the website, contact Bob Anastasoff   BobA2000@aol.com
