Welcome back to all the snowbirds. You’re great with your suntans. We’re glad you’re back safe.
Some dates to remember:
Euchre tournament, May 8. Registration is at Local 602 at 8:30 a.m. and playing starts at 9:00. The top four winners will meet with Flint’s top four at Local 602 in the afternoon. Come join us for a day of fun and also lunch.
Retired Fisher Girls’ annual luncheon will be on the last Thursday in July, the 25th, at 2:00 p.m. at Finley’s Restaurant on South Cedar Street in Lansing. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone for an afternoon of reminiscing.
We are working to set up a travel club for all retirees in the region. If you have a place you’d like to go and think that other retirees would enjoy, please let me know. If we can get the numbers, we’ll be looking at cheaper rates.
Despite its success and popularity, Congress is now seriously considering undermining the existing Medicare system. They would slash benefits for the elderly and leave older Americans at the mercy of the for-profit insurance industry.
The solution to our nation’s health care crisis isn’t cutting Medicare. It’s making Medicare into a single-payer system for all.
More than four years after the financial crash and two years after the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Wall Street still remains out of control. We need to push for the rules that Dodd-Frank mandated and for tough standards that will crack down on Wall Street abuses.
Spend just a few minutes of your time and call your Congressperson and make your voice heard.
For all our sick and shut-ins you are in our thoughts and prayers and for all who have lost a loved one or dear friend, we send you our deepest condolences.
