Page 20 www.daleassociation.com Director’s Corner Welcome back to all our returning groups that have taken a break during the summer. We are glad to have you back with us. I wanted to share something fun with you this month. September 5-11 is National Waffle Week. So here is some Waffle House® Trivia Over 55 years ago, neighbors Joe Rogers and Tom Forkner wanted to create a restaurant focused on people (both staff and customers) and provide the friendliest service in town. On Labor Day 1955, they opened the first Waffle House® in Avondale Estates, an Atlanta suburb, and the business has expanded to more than 1600 restaurants in 25 states. Each location is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and Waffle House® did not take credit cards until 2006. They don't just serve waffles either. Did you know…..per minute the Waffle House® serves 368 strips of bacon 159 waffles 136 cups of coffee 117 grits orders 115 sausage patties 204 hash brown orders 38 hamburgers 7 strip steaks 10 pork shops 18 chicken breasts and Texas cheese steaks 5 T-bone and chopped steaks If all the sausage patties served in one day were stacked up, the pile would be as tall as the Empire State Building. If all the Smithfield® bacon strips served by the Waffle House® in one year were laid end -to-end, they would stretch from Atlanta to Los Angeles seven times, totaling 21,000 miles of bacon. Have a wonderful month, bring a friend to all the events, and "See You at The Centre." Colleen 2 www.daleassociation.com "Ditch the workout, join the party" According to Bodyshaping by Sandy founder, Sandy Mannella, her classes are great for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. She prides herself on the ability to modify any class for the people in attendance. She and instructor Cindy Hyers will be teaching ZUMBA, and Total Body BOOT CAMP at The Dale Association this fall (see "Be Well" section, pg.3). Sandy herself has a back problem but doesn't let that stop her from having fun and staying fit. She teaches her classes for a variety of abilities. Sandy has students well into their 70's enjoying themselves, her own mother, 79 years young, for instance! "Anyone who likes music and moving will find the classes fun and easy to do. Our classes have the feel of being on vacation, of being at a party. Lots of our music has a Latin flavor, you can't help but want to move around! People have fun and feel energized from the classes", says Sandy. "Once you try one of our classes, you'll be with us forever! You'll have a regular 'date' with us. You'll find camaraderie, inspiration, and motivation from our outgoing teachers and your peers." Students tell Sandy: "You make me feel so good!" Sandy, the Director of Bodyshaping by Sandy has been making workouts fun since 1989. She has over 25 years as a professional in the fitness industry. Her classes are unique - she and her 50 fitness instructors, specialists and trainers come to their clients. Her satellite approach to fitness works for The Dale Association, where we host her classes for people of all ages and abilities in Niagara County.

As your Government Programs benefits consultant, it’s always a pleasure to bring you news and information that may be helpful to you. Health Care Reform and Medicare/Medicare Advantage Changes The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – which we more commonly refer to as the health care reform law – in March has left many people with questions about how the law will impact them. If you weren’t able to join BlueCross BlueShield for the education sessions we held this summer, here’s a brief summary of some changes that Medicare and Medicare Advantage members can expect for the remainder of this year and in early 2011: 1. If you are currently enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan and you enter the prescription drug coverage gap (also called the “donut hole”) this year, you will receive a rebate of $250 from the federal government (please note that these checks do not come from BlueCross BlueShield or any other insurer). If you are not in a Part D plan, or are in one but do not hit the coverage gap this year, you will not be eligible for a rebate. 18 www.daleassociation.com 2. If you are currently enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you will receive updated benefit and premium information in October. If you are satisfied and wish to stay in the plan you currently have, you will not need to do anything – you will be automatically enrolled for 2011. 3. Informational sessions regarding Medicare Advantage plans for 2011 will begin on or around October 1, with enrollment in plans taking place from November 15-December 31 of this year. 4. A very important change to note is that as of January 1, 2011, if you do not want to stay in the Medicare Advantage plan that you had chosen, you will only be able to go back to original Medicare, not to select another plan. This is a significant change from past years, so I encourage you to get all the information you need when you enroll. Please remember that I am here to help you, too. Seasonal flu vaccinations I’d also like to remind you to ask your doctor about getting the seasonal flu vaccine. As the formulation changes each year, the most current vaccination will give you the most protection. Seasonal flu shots may be available as early as August this year, so ask your doctor about getting yours soon. To learn more about the plans and services available through BlueCross BlueShield, stop by and see me – I’m here every other Tuesday – or give me a call at 1-716-481-4114 or via email at farina.michelle@bcbswny.com. You can also visit our web site www.bcbswny.com. I’ll also be holding meetings here at the Dale Center every week from October through December. Read your newsletters and watch your mail for invitations to find out the exact dates and times. I look forward to seeing you soon.
