Rotary Club meeting at West Side Grill on Tuesday, September 12th

The guest speaker, Patty   Sevaies,  with Homewatch Caregivers, shared  information
about a  VA pension allowing money for home care for veterans.   Who knew?
Those eligible are vets, of course, who have served in the Military during war times.
An honorable discharge is a  requirement as well.  Obviously there has to be a medical
component.  Coverage is provided for a
non-service related disability if accident or illness occured while a veteran.  The medical
criteria is if there is a need for assisted living and/or the person can no longer drive.
Financially there is a cap on liquid assets but no upper income limits.   Also this
aid does not count against Medicaid.   There is a lot of unused monies for this pension
plan...so it is a good thing Patty is getting the word out. 

Question.   When is a guest not really a guest but is guesting.  When it is Ken Hergert.
Everyone glad to see him.  
If you weren’t at the meeting, next time ask Bruce Bender how was lunch !
