SUMMARY:Repeat Session - Veterans Federal Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand\, we are once again embracing this subject of Veterans Benefits\, working in partnership with VITAS Healthcare to present an informative seminar based on “A Pledge of Allegiance to Veterans.”AMAC and the AMAC Foundation are staunch advocates on behalf of America’s Veterans\, believing strongly that veterans issues should remain a highly visible priority for any administration. As opportunities present themselves\, our Washington resources champion these causes in order to underscore their importance. Locally\, the Foundation has sponsored educational sessions covering benefits available to our Veterans\, providing guidance on how to access these benefits. On Thursday\, January 10\, we will be conducting a repeat of the highly-acclaimed session conducted October 11\, 2018.\n\nThis hour and a half seminar will focus on a discussion of nursing home care and home health care\, pension and aid and attendance benefits\, and end-of-life issues\, including coverage for burial and memorial services and regulations associated with national cemeteries. Our speaker will again be Thomas Spencer\, PhD\, a highly decorated veteran of multiple foreign combat theatres and former specialist for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Spencer also served as a liaison for members of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate during his VA work.\n\nHere are the details for this session:\n\nDate:     Thursday\, January 10\, 2019\n\nTime:     10:00 am to 11:30 am\n\nPlace:    Lady Lake Library\, 225 West Guava Street\, Lady Lake\, FL 32159\n\nThere is no cost for this workshop\, and light refreshments will be served.\n\nTo register: Contact the AMAC Foundation\, 888-750-2622 or email: info@amacfoundation.com.\n\nDeadline for reservation is Friday\, January 4\, 2019\n\nSpecial Note:  This seminar will be streamed live via the Foundation’s website.

SUMMARY:Understanding Advanced Directives
DESCRIPTION:Most folks have a general understanding that advanced directives are legal documents through which they can specify what health-related actions should be taken on their behalf if illness or incapacity renders them unable to make decisions for themselves. While the general concept is known\, there is widespread misunderstanding about their use in today’s patient/physician interactions. We welcome Chantal Morey\, RN and Assistant General Manager of Vitas Healthcare in Lake/Sumter Counties and Christopher Shepherd\, Volunteer Services Manager of Vitas at this workshop designed to review the meaning and types of Advance Directives and provide guidance and resources for their use.\n\nHere are the details:\n\nDate:     Tuesday\, January 15\, 2019\n\nTime:     10:00 am to 11:30 am\n\nPlace:    Lady Lake Library\n\nThere is no cost for this workshop\, and light refreshments will be served.\n\nTo register: Contact the AMAC Foundation\, 888-750-2622 or email: info@amacfoundation.org\n\nDeadline for reservation is Friday\, January 11\, 2019\n\nSpecial Note:  This seminar will be streamed live via the Foundation’s website.

SUMMARY:Cutting the Cord...Life After Cable
DESCRIPTION:Cord-cutting–the act of severing the traditional link to cable television–has grown substantially in recent years as two factors collide: the availability of a host of new options on the home entertainment market\, and growing dissatisfaction with cable companies’  price/reliability/service model. On this first factor\, the past few years have brought services like Netflix\, Amazon Prime Video\, Sling TV\, Huku\, Roku\, and others into the mainstream vocabulary\, while on the second factor\, many households have begun to take exception to what is perceived as a continual ramp up of pricing from the cable companies and somewhat of a deterioration in reliability and service levels. \nFor many households\, price has been the driver to consider dropping their cable service in favor of a newer\, cheaper option. Yes\, the cable companies gleefully advertise that their contract gives you hundreds and hundreds of channels\, and it breaks down to perhaps pennies for each of them. But realistically\, how many different channels do you really want? Most people typical have only a handful of favorites\, maybe a half dozen or so\, while the “hundreds and hundreds” available on cable are rarely–if ever–accessed. Here’s where the pay-as-you-go options of the rapidly emerging streaming market emerge as attractive alternatives. \nOK\, but how do I get there? What do I need to have to get there? And when I get there\, what have I given up? These and many other relevant questions will be answered in this informative two-hour session presented by the Foundation. Experts from Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” training staff will explain the marketplace\, covering the equipment and contract details you’ll need to consider in order to take the leap. \nSpecial Note: This session has been organized for The Villages Deaf Senior Citizens organization. Limited space will be available for the general public and non-Villages residents\, so register early!\nHere are the details: \nDate:     Tuesday\, January 22\, 2019 \nTime:     1:00 pm to 3:00 pm \nPlace:    Churchill Recreation Center – 2375 Churchill Downs\, The Villages\, FL 32162 \nThere is no cost for this workshop\, and light refreshments will be served. \nTo register: Contact the AMAC Foundation\, 888-750-2622 or email: info@amacfoundation.org \nDeadline for reservation is Friday\, January 18\, 2019

SUMMARY:Community Wellness Fair
DESCRIPTION:The AMAC Foundation will be taking part in a community wellness fair on Wednesday\, January 30th\, 2019 at the Lady Lake Library from 10 AM to 1 PM.  We will be joined by local merchants and businesses whose daily focus is on the wellness of adults and children in the community.  This will be the perfect opportunity for the foundation to inform the public of\, not only who AMAC and the AMAC Foundation is\, but to also let them know about the various workshops and seminars offered to seniors specifically and to the public. \nLast year’s event was well attended and received a lot of positive feedback.  The goal of this event is to promote a healthy community by providing a means of awareness of the services that are available to assist residents in their daily lives. \nThis is a free event and affords the Foundation the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the community and connect with them on an individual basis.
