“Josephine Chesterfield is a glamorous, seductive British woman who has a penchant for defrauding gullible men out of their money. Into her well-ordered,
meticulous world comes Penny Rust, a cunning and fun-loving Australian woman who lives to swindle unsuspecting marks. Despite their different methods, the two grifters soon join forces for the ultimate score — a young and naive tech billionaire in the South of France.”
Need Dental Help?
Date: Tuesday, July 2nd at 1 PM
Cost: FREE
With Dr. Brandon Patel, PhD
Do you have questions about your dental insurance? Do you feel like your dental coverage is minimal, with huge out of pocket copays? In this presentation, I will discuss the different dental options that seniors have available to them. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover dental procedures unless you select a
Medicare Advantage plan (Part C coverage). This lecture will focus on the
different Part C options patients have available to them, along with discussing
the pros and cons of Medicare supplemental coverage plans. Even if you do not qualify for or choose to forgo part C coverage, there are options to help reduce your dental bill.
A Message From Your Mayor,
Our town values our Seniors and I hope that you are all taking full advantage of the variety of events and programs that we have coming up in July. Live music will be added to our 2nd BBQ on Friday, July 19th at 1:00pm. On Friday, July 26th at 3:00pm our dinner will be Shepherd’s Pie and the movie being shown is ‘The Hustle with Anne Hathaway’. Also, find out how to get routine dental care at a lower cost when Uncasville Dental visits us on July 2nd at 1:00pm. Please note that with the rise in recent temperatures, the Center is also a great place to keep cool and hydrated. We welcome all of our Seniors to come and enjoy our cool atmosphere!
Sincerely,
Leonard (Lenny) Bunnell,
Mayor
