She and her volunteers can help older adults with questions on Home Health Care, Cost of <br />Medications, Medicare issues, medical supplements, transportation and Long Term Care Ins. etc. She is <br />hoping to be able to get more business by being located were the seniors are. Because of our lack of <br />office space she meets in the activity area or Lion's Den, whatever is available. <br />In Sept. we have bus tours planned to Duluth, which includes taking a train ride from Two Harbors and <br />having lunch at the Grand Superior Lodge. This is the first time we have offered this trip with a train <br />ride. It sold out at once and we have added a second bus on a different day. We are also offering a <br />shopping trip to St Cloud using RiverRider and a 3-day gambling tour to Meskwaki. <br />Moonlight Cards & Games is starting up again. The Bank of Elk River sponsors this program. <br />The computer club is meeting again after having the summer off. <br />file://C:\Documents%20and%20 Settings\dhuebner\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Intern... 9/8/2005 <br />
