TOPS News

Submitted By Terrie Azotea

 

Well, this new year seems to be going fast already and we are on a role at TOPS with some nice weight loss. This past week we had a 10 pound net loss and that is pretty good considering it’s winter and we are all in the house hibernating and waiting till spring arrives. It’s really hard to get outside and get moving when it’s so cold. We were blessed last week with some nice temps to get out and do something and soon enough we will be looking at spring flowers. I know I was excited to see the mailman bring the Burgess Seed and Plant Catalog in the mail and that always gets my mind thinking spring. 

 

Officer of the week was Diana. Congrats! Kudos to Suzie for a 4 week weight loss and to Diane and Donna on their loss. Great job ladies. We would also like to welcome a new member who has joined us and would love to help you on your weight loss journey. As we all know, it’s a daily lifestyle change. We don’t think of it as diets, we think of it as a lifestyle that we can live by. 

 

We will be having our Inspiration Workshop in February. We also enjoyed playing Bingo and talked about upcoming events. 

 

If anyone is interested in joining us, we meet on Tuesday nights at the St. Stephen’s Church on Main Street in Pittsfield at 5:30 pm for weigh in and 6:30 pm for our meeting. 

 

Any questions please call Laurel Tiede at 269-8721 or Pat Smith at 435-5333.

 

“You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars.” (Henry Ford)

 

Hope everyone has a good week and see you lighter next week!

 


 

Rise Again Outreach Welcomes First Executive Director

 

Rise Again Outreach, a local faith-centered non-profit organization that provides assistance to individuals and families experiencing homelessness or poverty situations, has appointed Lorinda Gilbert as its first Executive Director.   

 

Gilbert brings a wealth of experience to Rise Again Outreach, having previously served as president of Reach4Hope, a small non-profit focused on caring for homeless people throughout the capital region. In October 2010, Reach4Hope merged with Rise Again Outreach, and Gilbert volunteered to continue as Rise Again Outreach’s homeless outreach coordinator. Since then, she has served in various leadership roles, including her most recent as a member of Rise Again Outreach’s board of directors. Gilbert is also the outreach coordinator for Grace Capital Church in Pembroke and was nominated to serve on its leadership council.

 

“Lorinda is one of the most committed people I know when it comes to caring for the many underprivileged in our communities,” says William Pelletier, president of Rise Again Outreach. “Because we all have personal knowledge of her gifts and experiences with local outreach, our board has total confidence that she is properly called and equipped to lead in this new position.”

 

Gilbert will oversee Rise Again Outreach’s mission of “bringing God’s love to people in crisis or poverty by helping with their temporal and spiritual needs.” She will also manage day-to-day operations of all the Rise Again Outreach programs that include: the mobile mission that uses converted buses to take items into low-income neighborhoods; the Prison Aftercare program that assists ex-offenders transitioning back into communities; the ESL (English as a Second Language) classes that teach English to Concord’s refugee populations; and the new racetrack mission of providing a family-friendly environment to race fans.

New Co-Pays For TRICARE Pharmacy Customers

Submitted By Merrill A. Vaughan, Commander

American Legion Peterson-Cram Post 75 Pittsfield, NH 03263

 

New co-payments for prescription drugs covered by TRICARE will go into effect soon. The Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act requires TRICARE to increase co-pays on brand name and non-formulary medications that are not filled at military clinics or hospitals.

 

There is no increase to co-pays for generic medications. Increases will be effective sometime in February, depending on when system changes can be made, and the publication of a required Federal Notice.

 

TRICARE Pharmacy co-pays vary based on the class of drug and where beneficiaries choose to fill their prescriptions. The co-pay for generic medications stays at $5 when a prescription is filled at a network pharmacy. There is no co-pay when generic prescriptions are filled through TRICARE Home Delivery. The new co-pay for a 30-day supply of a brand name medication purchased at a retail network pharmacy will be $17, up from the current $12. Beneficiaries using TRICARE Home Delivery will pay $13 for brand name drugs, up from $9; however, the Home Delivery price is for a 90-day supply.

 

The greatest change in co-pays applies to non-formulary medications. The $25 co-pay for these drugs increases to $44 at retail pharmacies and $43 through Home Delivery. The TRICARE Uniform Formulary is a list of all the medications TRICARE covers.

 

For fiscal 2014 and beyond, the new law directs that co-pays increase annually by the same percentage as retiree cost-of-living adjustments. In years when a COLA increase would total less than a dollar, it will be delayed a year and combined with the next adjustment so increases will always be $1 or more.

 

Pharmacies at military hospitals and clinics will continue to provide medications with no co-pays. Visit http://www.tricare.mil/Costs/PrescriptionCosts.aspx for more details. (Courtesy of TRICARE Communications)
