August, 2017

FYI: 
We had announced in the Grapevine that LIHEAP would be starting September 1 but we were just notified that is is delayed. We have recently been informed that we have no start date for applying for this program at this time.

Remember to make you appointments for Open Enrollment for Med D plans. This begins on October 15th and runs through December 7th.

Facts:
August has 31 days because Augustus Ceasar wanted as many days in his month as Julius Ceasar so one was taken from February.

Fun Holidays:

August 21 is Senior Citizen's Day
