Want a clean place to eat? Look no further! Lunch patrons of the BRSI lunch program can be comforted to know that they are eating in one of the cleanest, most sanitary eating

establishments in Brunswick County. Brunswick Senior Resources Inc. (BSRI) “cleaned up”---pun intended---at the recent Golden “A” Awards

presentations given by the Environmental Health Section of the Brunswick County Health Services.

Golden “A” Awards are presented to food establishments in the

county that score a 95% or better on every inspection made by the

Brunswick County Health Department during the year. They also give

the Platinum Golden “A” Awards to facilities that receive the Golden

“A” Award for 5 or more consecutive years. Within the two levels of

awards---Golden “A” and Platinum “A” Awards---eight of the nine

BSRI facilities won an award for the year 2014. Shallotte was not

eligible for a Golden “A” Award in 2014 because they changed

facilities during the year, even though they would have won an

award based on their scores, which were all over the 95% mark. So,

technically, BSRI had a “clean sweep” (another pun) with ALL 9

facilities meeting the minimum grade requirements of the award. In

fact, Shallotte would have been in line for the Platinum—5

consecutive years of Golden “A” Awards—had they not changed

facilities in mid year.

President/CEO Jim Fish said, “BSRI is honored by the receipt of 8 Golden “A” Awards for 2014 from the Brunswick County Health Department. I am

extremely proud of our nutrition staff for making our facilities some of the cleanest most sanitary eateries in the county and the state. To be able

to consistently be that good, we have to have dedicated, conscientious, dependable, skilled people able to provide a high standard of quality at

our eating facilities. We have demonstrated through receiving these awards that we have what it takes. We are especially proud that four of our

facilities received the Platinum Golden “A” Award signifying that they have received a Golden “A” Award for five consecutive years or more. This

is a major achievement for our organization and for any organization.”

For 2014, The following BSRI sites received the Platinum “A” Award: Boiling Spring Lakes Senior Nutrition Site, Calabash Senior Nutrition Site,

Leland Senior Center, and the Southport Senior Center.

Receiving Golden “A” Awards for 2014 were: Ash Senior Nutrition Site, Oak Island Senior Nutrition Site, Sunset Harbor Senior Nutrition Site, and

Supply Senior Nutrition Site.

May 2015

I would like to begin this month’s newsletter with a special thanks to the seniors at the

Supply Senior Site. County Commissioners voted last fall to divest management of the

Lockwood Folly Community Building effective January 1, 2015 to Brunswick Senior

Resources Inc. Since the announcement that the Lockwood Folly Community Building

would become a location for a future full service senior center; the participants have

actively taken ownership over the many tasks necessary to prepare a site for growth. In addition to recruiting

new participants, they have given of their personal time to clean up the grounds and interior of the building

and create lists of things that the center will need to be successful. Recently the seniors organized a yard sale

and have donated the proceeds to the building fund for the future center. Through their hard work they were

able to raise over $850.00! We are thankful for their efforts and appreciate the spirit of teamwork and

collaboration as we all work to bring a new center to that location.

As of the April 9th, 2015 County Commissioner held county budget and planning meetings. The expansion of

the Supply Senior Site is not included in the 2016 Fiscal Year. A county capital improvement plan (CIP)

anticipates allocating funding

for expansion between the

Fiscal Years of 2017 to 2020.

The current location has two

structures which comprise

roughly 4,000 square feet of

space. An additional 6,000

square feet would need to be

added to provide the space

necessary for programs and

services. BSRI intends to

proceed with getting estimates

for construction and site

planning in an effort be

prepared when funding

becomes available.

May also represents the two year anniversary of the opening of the Sunset Harbor Senior Site. If you have not

had the chance to visit that location, I would encourage you to do so and enjoy lunch on the exterior deck and

watch the boats cruise up and down the inter-coastal waterway.

NEWS & ANNOUCEMENTS from the Organization

The pre-qualification process for selecting a builder for the New Leland Senior Center closed at the conclusion

of the month of April. Several builders met pre-qualification criteria and county officials are expecting multiple

bids for the construction contract. The robust interest is a good sign that the project will remain on schedule

with a possible ground breaking scheduled for fall. A special thanks to county Director of Engineering, William

Pinnix, who has been so diligent keeping this important project moving on the right course. The next step will

be a series of approval meetings with Town of Leland and County officials for clarifications on building plans.

BSRI Provides Estate Planning

Assistance Have you considered including BSRI in your Estate Plan???

There are assets you own that will automatically transfer to your

heirs. And… you can also designate a portion of your assets to

keep on giving for years to come by naming Brunswick Senior

Resources, Inc. (BSRI) in your Estate Planning.

Have you designated beneficiaries for your accounts? How is

your property held? Even if you don’t have a will, it’s important

to be able to answer these questions. It is easy to designate

beneficiaries for retirement assets, investments and life

insurance. You can also add a beneficiary to a deed for land or a

home that you own.

You can take some small steps today to ensure a gift goes to help

seniors who wish to remain healthy in their own homes for as

long as possible:

• Name BSRI as a beneficiary for your retirement plan assets

and life insurance.

• Designate Pay on Death or Transfer on Death to BSRI for

your investments, checking or savings accounts.

• Review and update your real estate and vehicle titles to

include BSRI.

• You can also designate multiple beneficiaries, taking care

of your family & the causes most important to you.

Contact BSRI today! (910) 754-2300 to learn more about this

charitable gift and estate planning strategy and how you could

personally benefit.

This information is not intended as tax, legal, or financial advice.

Please consult your personal financial advisor and/or attorney for

information specific to your situation.

Older adults are a vital part of our society. Since 1963, communities across

the country have shown their gratitude by celebrating Older Americans

Month each May. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Get into the

Act,” to focus on how older adults are taking charge of their health, getting

engaged in their

communities, and making a

positive impact in the lives

of others.

The theme also reflects on

the 50th anniversary of the

Older Americans Act.

President Lyndon B.

Johnson signed the Older

Americans Act into law in

July 1965. Since that time,

the Act has provided a

nationwide aging services

network and funding that

helps older adults live with

dignity in the communities

of their choice for as long

as possible. These services

include home-delivered

and congregate meals, caregiver support, community-based assistance,

preventive health services, elder abuse prevention, and much more.

By promoting and engaging in activity, wellness, and inclusivity, more

Americans than ever before can “Get into the Act.” While BSRI provides

services to promote the well being & enhance the quality of life of older

adults year-round, Older Americans Month offers an opportunity to

emphasize how older adults can access the home- and community-based

services they need to live independently in their communities. It is also an

occasion to highlight how older adults are engaging with and making a

difference in those communities.

Discover Older Americans Month, visit:

http://acl.gov/olderamericansmonth

Get Into the Act Here at BSRI…

...by supporting the re authorization of the Older Americans Act. This Act pro-vides funding to BSRI for its services, pro-grams, and senior center operations.

Drop by one of the three senior centers' computer labs, Wednesday, May 13. There you can complete an electronic letter to congress urging their support for the Act.

Don't have time to drop by our center? You can complete the form at:

https://secure3.convio.net/ncoa/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=301 or visit the National Council on Aging's Web-site: www.ncoa.org and click "Take Action" under "Get In-volved."

BSRI's Senior Centers are in the process of becoming certified senior centers of excellence so we cordially request you forward a copy of the letter to your local directors email address so the center re-ceives credit:

up” this summer by canning, this is a

great time to learn or get a “refresher”

on your skills. The key is to make sure

that you do it safely. There is no sense

good produce and then lose the product

or make someone sick.

wick County is offering a basic Can It!

Class, taught by Cheryle Jones Syracuse,

Thursday June 25 from 12:45 p.m. until

2: 15 p.m. This class will update poten-

tial canners with the latest safe meth-

ods. The class will also discuss myths

and misconceptions of canning and the

basics of boiling water bath canning as

well as pressure canning. The important

question of when is a pressure canner

needed will be answered.

The registration fee is $5 per person,

payable at class. This will include all in-

struction and up-to-date recipes. Space

is limited, please RSVP

Medicare has 5 things you can do to help you become an informed Medicare consumer:

1. Know your rights. As a person with Medicare, you have certain rights and protections designed to help protect you and make sure you get

the health care services the law says you can get.

2. Protect your identity. Identity theft happens when someone uses your personal information without your consent to commit fraud or other

crimes. Keep the following personal information safe:

Your name

Your Social Security Number (SSN)

Your Medicare number (or your membership card if you’re in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan)

Your credit card and bank account numbers

Get more information on how to protect yourself from identity theft.

3. Help fight Medicare fraud. Medicare fraud takes money from the Medicare program each year, which means higher health care costs for

you. Learn how to report fraud.

4. Get involved with other seniors with the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP). The SMP educates and empowers people with Medicare to take an

active role in detecting and preventing health care fraud and abuse.

5. Make informed Medicare choices. Each year during the fall Open Enrollment Period (October 15–December 7), review your plan to make

sure it’s going to meet your needs for the following year. If you’re not satisfied with your current plan, you can switch during the Open Enroll-

ment Period. ***Above information obtained from the Medicare Blog; www.medicare.gov.

Also, check out videos for tips on preventing Medicare fraud and see how seniors are learning tostop, spot, and report fraud.

PLEASE CALL (910)754-2300 FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Please note that the number above will change effective

August 1, 2015, to: 855-408-1212

Wilmington Riverwalk

The Riverwalk in Downtown Wilmington is a showstopper of a stroll that is a distinctive attraction all its own. Originally conceived in the

1980s as a way to generate more interest and tourism to the Cape Fear River waterfront regions of Wilmington's historic Downtown, to-

day the Riverwalk encompasses a full mile of scenic boardwalk, hugging the borders of the riverfront, and providing visitors with endless

views and easy access to some of the Downtown's most beloved attractions. Wilmington staples like The Cotton Exchange, theUSS

North Carolina Battleship, and the 1914 Murchison Building are all located along the route, although visitors may be hard pressed to

leave the scenic wooden walkway which is bordered by some of Wilmington's most prestigious buildings as well as miles of open water

views.

MAY 2015 25 BSRI SENIOR BUZZ IN MEMORIAM

By Syndi Ward

Two of our most dedicated volunteers serving in our Leland community are

Beverly Reed and Jan Nance. Beverly has been volunteering with BSRI for 4+ years

and Jan came to join her 2+ years ago. They work as a team in our MOW program

that delivers meals to our homebound recipients. They volunteer two days a week,

but they also let us know and encourage us to call on them in the event that we need

an extra hand. These two ladies go above and beyond their call of duty to lend a helping hand

where there may be a need.

Beverly has been the wife of Don Reed, who also takes part as a volunteer in the event that

Jan can’t make it or when weather is not suitable, for nearly 45 years. They had two children

but raised seven, as they took in pregnant girls that were facing tough situations. They also

have four grandchildren. Beverly has taken various jobs throughout her adult life, always

where there was an immediate need, and it never mattered to her how traumatic these

positions could be. If she could be of any help to someone that needed it, that’s what she

did… including homeschooling and putting together support groups.

Jan is the mother of three and the grandmother of five. She has a degree in horticulture,

which she earned from Sandhills Community College in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Jan still

puts this talent to work today by helping people in their yards and dedicating time in

beautifying the community. Jan volunteers a lot of her time wherever there may be a need. She is currently a volunteer with the WARM program

that helps to repair or rebuild homes for those that could not otherwise get the work done due to financial burden.

These two women are amazing with the amount of heart they put into helping those around the community. Their hearts are sincere and they

have a genuine love for all people that they come into contact with. Beverly and Jan are both active members of the North Brunswick Fellowship

church, where they also dedicate a lot of their time to various jobs in the church, as well as outside with different projects that of course benefit

others in the community. I could never put into words how much we appreciate you two and your generosity. We thank you so much, for all that

you do and for being who you are.
