This year, in lieu of trav-eling and hosting in-person events across our service territory, we’re committing $50,000 to 12 food banks that power the communi-ties we serve. This includes the Harper Mission Mart. Cram the Van has played a special part in Concern for Community, our Sev-enth Cooperative Principle, over the past decade. As our campaign and the out-pouring from our communi-ties has grown bigger and better, our focus this year is to maximize our impact through the dollars we ded-icate to our food drive. In addition to our $50,000 commitment, our cooperative is also actively working to raise monetary funds through an online do-nation drive, sponsorships at our ﬁfth annual Co-ops Care Charity Golf Tourna-ment (Sept. 15, 2023), and additional contributions from vendors, local busi-nesses, and other commu-nity partners. Our goal this year is to collect $100,000! All proceeds raised will directly beneﬁt the food banks in the communities we serve ahead of this holi-day season.

The lagoon has been hav-ing ongoing issues with the water level being higher than expected. In June there was an emergency discharge of the Lagoon to help with this problem. KDHE came out to do a survey to look at the Lagoon to see what could be causing the water levels to be higher than ex-pected. The Lagoon is get-ting more water than it was originally built for. One op-tion is to build another cell, this would be our most ex-pensive option. The other option would be irrigation that would go into the ﬁeld behind the facility, which the hospital owns. There is no immediate need to come up with a solution, so there is time to do research to de-cide what would be the best option for our facility. Employee blood drive goal was 15 pints, got 11 pints.

It’s important to understand what brokers & agents from private insurance carriers are & aren’t allowed to do. That way, you’ll be prepared if someone tries to enroll you in a Medicare plan that isn’t right for you. Plans are actively marketing their products through televi-sion ads, social media ads & mailings. Unlike Origi-nal Medicare, Part C & Part D plans are administered, marketed & sold by private insurance companies. When you meet or talk with an agent, they CAN-NOT:Start a discussion about other insurance products like life insurance annuities if your meeting was sched-uled to discuss Medicare Part C or D.Set their own time limits for you to sign up. You have until December 7th to enroll & there are no extra bene-ﬁts for signing up early.Threaten to take away your beneﬁts if you do not sign up for their plan.Offer you gifts if you do agree to sign up for their plan.Suggest that Medicare endorses or prefers their plan.Discuss Medicare prod-ucts you did not ask to talk about.Be sure to get ALL the details in writing before signing up. Take your time to read all the information & verify details. Before com-mitting, reach out to your medical providers to ensure they are in that plan’s net-work. For more informa-tion, attend the “Adaptive Active Aging Conference” Sept 19th being put on by the Harper Co Health Foun-dation, Aging Department & Patterson Health Center.
