Please plan to attend the May 10 breakfast seminar taking place from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m., at Middletown Area Senior Citizens (MASC), located at 3907 Central Avenue in Middletown. This is the first seminar in MASC’s Emerging Issues in Aging series.

Judith Stewart, president of the Board of Trustees for MASC, will present the first seminar in the series that will feature specialists from a spectrum of business and academic disciplines addressing emerging issues in aging.

Stewart's seminar will focus on Understanding Medicare and New Healthcare Rules, a topic that too few people and companies fully understand and apply to their advantage. Ms. Stewart manages the Middletown Region for MB Senior Solutions and has been a leader in the employee benefits field for over three decades. Most recently she has focused her efforts on helping others understand complex Medicare rules and new federal healthcare regulations.

Cost for the May 10 seminar and breakfast is $15. To reserve your space, simply call 513-217-4911, or email dyurasek@mascinc.org. Future 2011 Emerging Issues in Aging seminars are planned for July 12, September 13, and November 15.

Associates Circle Sponsors are Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Atrium Medical Center.
