Jen Rupp provided the following information: "I will work on putting together an email to send to all retirees who are either eligible for Medicare Advantage or have a spouse that is eligible for it. The email will include the dates for the sessions and also the link and phone number for the webinar (the phone number was not included in the letter from BCBS because normally when somebody logs into the webinar, the phone number will be provided at that time). That way even if somebody doesn’t have the ability to watch the webinar, they can still call in and listen to the presentation."
Thank you Jen.

Book Club Meeting August 3, 2016
"Howard's End" proved to be one of the most disagreed upon books we have read and discussed. Some of us liked the insights E. M. Forster had about the growth of cities, the role of women in the future, and his uncanny understanding of the connections as well as differences between England and Germany. But some of us felt the constant back and forth of narrative and description disruptive, the relationship between Margaret Schlegel and Henry Wilcox incomprehensible, and the coincidences of the plot resolution too far fetched. It made for a very lively discussion.
Our next book will be “On Beauty”, by Zadie Smith. Here is the New York Times review from 2005. This book is considered by some to be Ms. Smith's homage to "Howard's End", so this might give us some points of consideration.
We next meet Wednesday, October 5, in Room 115 of the Richardson Library. Discussion begins at 1:30, with the room open at 1 pm. for anyone who wants to bring in a brown bag lunch. For further information contact Kathryn DeGraff or Helen Marlborough.
As we considered titles for future consideration, rather than simply review our existing lists, we decided to have all participants submit titles they would like to read to Kathryn DeGraff. She will compile the list with brief annotations for us all to review together.

Medicare Advantage - a new BC/BS medical program available to retirees
Did you know that DePaul is offering a new medical plan option, Medicare Advantage, for DePaul retirees who are age 65 and over and eligible for Medicare?
Learn more about this new plan on HR's website:
http://offices.depaul.edu/human-resources/Pages/medicare-advantage.aspx
Look for more details in late August/early September.
An important note:
If DePaul does not receive an open enrollment form from you by the end of October, we will attempt to contact you again to confirm whether or not you want to enroll in the Medicare Advantage plan. If we do not receive a completed form, your Carve-Out plan coverage will end December 31, 2016 and you will not have retiree medical coverage through DePaul as of January 1, 2017. If you waive coverage or do not submit an enrollment form for 2017, you will not be eligible for the retiree medical plan in the future.
