Free Flu Shots for Somerset Home Employees
On Monday, October 23rd, between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM at Passages we will once again be offering free flu shots for all Somerset Home employees.
Family members may also get flu shots for our cost of $25 (make checks payable to Somerset Home). Please let your supervisor know so we can get a rough count of how many to expect. Please try to come as close to 4:00 PM as possible.
Pension Plan Changes
If you participate in the Somerset Home 401(k) plan you should have already received a notice to not move any investments or change deduction amounts while we close out the plan and get ready to transfer it to another plan administrator. Beginning no later than January 1, 2007 we will be switching from Paychex/Merrill Lynch to TR Paul/Condor Capital. We expect that our investments will perform much better by merging our 401(k) plan into the PSP plan that we currently hold with Condor Capital Management.
Please be sure to attend a special meeting on October 23rd at Passages where we will explain the benefits of the new Somerset Home Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. I will have our primary investment counsel from Condor Capital to explain the program and answer questions.
As always, if you have any questions about the pension program, please direct them to Barbara Kreutzer or directly to me.

The 8th annual Run for Runaways will be here before we know it! We still need major sponsors, ad sponsors, and volunteers to help with our big event on November 4, 2006.
