Open Enrollment Meeting
DATE: Today - March 4,
2010
TIME: 3:30 PM TO 4:30 PM
PLACE: Passages Conference Room
Our Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield group medical insurance plans renew April 1, 2010. Somerset Home has worked hard to find plans that offer our eligible employees good benefits at an affordable price!
Come to the open enrollment meeting to find out the details of each of the three plans that will be offered beginning in April 2010! A representative of Capacity Benefits will be present to answer any questions you may have concerning the benefits offered by each plan.
All participating employees must complete a new enrollment form to designate the plan they are choosing. If you are eligible to participate in our group health insurance benefit and currently waive coverage—now is your once a year opportunity to enroll in one of our plans!
Staff Changes
We would like to welcome back Iris Espinosa, Residential Services Coordinator, from maternity leave. We know it is hard for her to leave little Eva (see picture above) but we are very pleased to have her return to her role at Brahma House.
Many thanks to Alison Parameritis for filling in for Iris and congratulations to Alison on her return to the Street Outreach program!
Donated Computers
Donated computers are programmed at the Passages TLP conference room
A local corporation has donated 40 computers to Somerset Home. The desktop computers will be used to replace slower staff computers and the laptops will be given to TLP youth.
My Place Renovation Continues...
It doesn't look like a garage any more! The garage doors are gone and the new side door has been installed.
With the framing nearly complete, the sheet rock will begin to be installed this week... It won't be long now!
As always, thank you all for your continued hard work on behalf of our youth.
