(michael.j.kinnison@ci.eugene.or.us). <br /> <br /> <br />Medicare Info Workshops at Eugene Public Library <br />It’s Medicare enrollment time – and because circumstances may have changed since last year, it’s recommended <br />that all recipients review and evaluate their coverage. However, many seniors aren’t sure how to make the <br />necessary decisions to access the most relevant benefits and services at the best price. The same is true for adult <br />children who would like to assist parents in navigating Medicare. The friendly experts of Lane County Senior <br />Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA) can help. A program of the Oregon Department of Consumer and <br />Business Services, SHIBA is available to help recipients select a Medicare prescription drug plan, find out if <br />they’re receiving all possible benefits, compare supplemental health insurance policies, review a bill, or file an <br />appeal or complaint. <br />These free sessions are held at the Downtown Eugene Public Library, co-sponsored by SHIBA and Willamalane <br />Park and Recreation District: <br /> <br />Understanding and Navigating Medicare, November 12, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.– An overview for those new to Medicare <br />or thinking about making changes. <br />Save Money with Medicare’s Low Income Subsidy (LIS), November 13, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. – Explains who qualifies <br />for this federal program and how it can save hundreds of dollars per year. <br /> Medicare Website Demonstration, November 20, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. – This session provides information on the <br />Medicare program, and an explanation of how to use the Medicare website to research and enroll in Part D <br />prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plans (medical health insurance). <br />Do Your Own Medicare Research, November 22, 10:00 a.m. – noon – Trained SHIBA volunteers guide each <br />participant, confidentially, in using the Medicare website to evaluate and make educated choices among Part D <br />and Medicare Advantage plans. <br />Due to limited space, pre-registration is required at 682-5450 (press 2). For more information, contact the Eugene <br />Public Library at 682-5450 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br />Campbell Center Annual Holiday Bazaar <br />Eugene Recreation’s Senior Program will hold its annual holiday bazaar to benefit Campbell Community Center <br />from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 15. Admission is free. This fund-raising event annually brings <br />in more than $8,000 for the Campbell Center’s Trust Fund, which is used to augment the support received from the <br />City’s General Fund. The bazaar features an array of items for sale, all handmade by seniors who are participants <br />or friends of the center. This year’s items include crafts, quilts, wooden items, baked goods, preserves and the <br />center’s famous Sweet Hot Mustard. The bazaar also includes breakfast snacks and lunch, silent auctions and a <br />raffle. This year, local businesses donated more than 100 items for auctions and raffle. For more information, <br /> <br />contact Yvaughn Tompkins at 682-5318. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />November 6, 2008 <br />
