Here are some tips about using the 9-1-1 system:
When Should I call 9-1-1?
• Save a life
• Stop a crime
• Report a fire
Anytime help is needed from police, fire or ambulance
personnel, 9-1-1 should be your first call in an emergency.
9-1-1-Calling Tips:
• Stay calm and speak clearly.
• Be sure to listen carefully and answer all of the dispatcher’s
• questions, to the best of your ability. If possible, do not hang up
until the 9-1-1 dispatcher has obtained all of the information
that is needed.

You asked, and we listened. You’re getting a new Medicare card! Between April 2018 and April 2019, we’ll be
removing Social Security numbers from Medicare cards and mailing each person a new card. This will help keep
your information more secure and help protect your identity.
You’ll get a new Medicare Number that’s unique to you, and it will only be used for your Medicare coverage. The
new card won’t change your coverage or benefits. You’ll get more information from Medicare when your new card
is mailed.
Beware of anyone who contacts you about your new Medicare card.
We’ll never ask you to give us personal or private information to get
your new Medicare Number and card.
Understand that mailing everyone a new card will take some time. Your
card might arrive at a different time than your friend’s or neighbor’s.

If you would like to help deliver poinsettias to the homebound please
call Cathy.
We are looking for some folks who would be willing to help shovel seniors out during the snowy
winter months. If you would be willing to help out in your neighborhood please let me know. This
is just walkways and steps, not full driveways and not clearing sidewalks. We just want folks to be
able to access the homes in case of emergency.
Also please remember to check on your neighbors who may need some help this winter. The cold
weather and snow can be very isolating for those who do not have family nearby. If you know
someone who could use a friendly visitor please call Cathy.
Have a safe and happy holiday!

Evening Book Club – The Book Club will meet next on Monday, January 8th at 5:30 PM. The book
this month is “The Hideaway” by Lauren Denton. PLOT: When her grandmother’s will wrenches
Sara back home, she learns more about Margaret Van Buren in the wake of her death than she
ever knew in life. After her last remaining family member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The
Hideaway, her grandmother Mags’s ramshackle B&B in Sweet Bay, Alabama. She intends to quickly tie up loose ends
then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans. Instead, she learns Mags has willed The Hideaway
to her and charged her with renovating it—no small task considering her grandmother’s best friends, a motley crew of
senior citizens, still live there. Rather than hurrying back to New Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest
house-rehabbing project of her career. Amid drywall dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she discovers that
slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she expected. Then she discovers a box Mags left in the attic with
clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With help from Mags’s friends, Sara begins to piece together the
mysterious life of bravery, passion, and choices that changed her grandmother’s destiny in both marvelous and
devastating ways. When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a
choice—stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she’s grown to love or leave again and return to her
successful but solitary life in New Orleans. Please call Paula at 978 762-0208 x104 if you will be attending.

Circle of Hope-Does someone close to you (spouse/partner, child, grandchild, or trusted caregiver) withhold your medication, use your
money without permission, limit your phone calls, or tell you when or where you can go? Do you feel that nothing you ever do or say is
“right?” If so, you are not alone. Are you looking to be among peers in a safe space to share your experience? Help us help you, by joining a
free educational support group for seniors over 50 every Tuesday from 11 am to 12 pm at the Danvers Council on Aging. This group is
completely confidential. The group is sponsored by CALL-NS, Confronting Abuse in Later Life-North Shore, a grant which aims to provide

that could use a new home. Think decluttering!!! Select an item valued $20 or less that you ALREADY own.
Bring the wrapped item to group in December for the

Examples of things to bring are: -gifts you’ve received but don’t have a use for
-Duplicates of items you own -home décor items that doesn’t suit your taste
-CDs or DVDs -kitchen gadgets or other tools you don’t use or
