General Membership Meeting September 28, 2000
The
next general membership will be held at Momoyama at the Princess Kaiulani
Hotel on September 28, 2000; 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Speakers from Kaiser
and HMSA will make presentations. Members are urged to attend to
keep informed on various programs that deliver health benefits. Many
retired government workers are unaware that whereas their pensions are
guaranteed by the state constitution, health benefits are not.
It is important to keep abreast of proposed changes and make your feelings
known to your legislators.
Information
and reservation forms for this meeting will be in the mail in the near
future.
