My Place I - Day of Caring
On Thursday, October 7th, a beautiful fall day, sixteen volunteers from Ethicon and PSGA (both groups within Johnson & Johnson) and five Somerset Home staff got together for a United Way 'Day of Caring' project. The amount of work accomplished in one day was truly amazing.
One crew stripped wallpaper and spackled indoors while another crew dug out planting beds, weeded, planted daffodils and mulched while still another crew cleared the adjacent vacant lot of debris. We are very appreciative for the volunteers from Johnson and Johnson for helping us accomplish so much!

FSA OPEN ENROLLMENT 11/1/04 - 12/31/04
January is open enrollment for our Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program. The FSA allows you to elect a predetermined amount of money to be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis which then can be used to pay unreimbursed medical expenses.
Please see Gary Kreutzer for additional information and enrollment materials. If you have any out of pocket expenses such as co-pays, deductibles, dental or durable medical goods which are not covered by insurance, you can save by using this plan. Expenses are reimbursed to you from your FSA account within 1-2 weeks of submission.
As always, thank you all for your continued hard work on behalf of our youth.
