Our next NARFE Chapter 1135 meeting will be Thursday August 8 at the St. Charles Care Center at noon.  The St. Charles Care Center started as a nursing home and has reinvented itself.  A representative from the St. Charles Care Center will provide a tour of the newly remodeled St. Charles campus and will provide an overview of the services offered, such as rehab and the senior day care program.

We meet at Level C of the Lodge Building at St. Charles Care Center, 500 Farrell Dr. in Covington.  The luncheon is $7.  Make luncheon reservations by calling Jane Wischer at 859-426-7801 by August 1.

NARFE initiated a clip your coupons and save your COLA campaign.  Some supporters of the Chained CPI stated that clipping a few more coupons would make up the difference in benefits if the Chained CPI approach were approved.  However, NARFE calculates that retirees would lose $48,000 in benefits over 25 years.  NARFE District IV Vice President Marlene Bunten requests that members bring unwanted coupons with them to our next meeting so that she can forward all the coupons from the Northern Kentucky Chapters to the NARFE headquarters. 

The District IV Picnic is approaching and will be held on Saturday September 21 at noon at the Freedom Park in Edgewood.  Marlene is taking reservations and her phone number is 859-331-8642.  The cost is $8.
