If you put your mind to it anything is possible!! Rainbow Seniors ROC opened its doors to its members today at their new location. So very exciting and rewarding to see how far they’ve come in only 4 years in serving the older members of our community. Fantastic to see but still
much to do and is needed to keep RSROC going. Stop by the center to see what it’s all about and consider donating to keep it going! : : : : :

I had a fabulous time having lunch in the park with the crew Rainbow Seniors ROC. What an amazing group that started just 4!! years ago with just a handful of people has now grown to what you can glimpse in these pics. It takes a village to be successful and this one continues to grow! : : : :

CHANGE! is coming. Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is quickly approaching. Don't be caught off guard make sure to reach out to your agent. We work for you and are here to keep you informed on changes that could impact your healthcare. Don't have an agent? Confused about Medicare? Retiring or turning 65 soon? CALL ME!! While I do not offer every plan available in your area. I am able to offer over 65 healthcare plans thru the 8 carriers I work with in the Upstate, NY area.

Here’s the lowdown on how Medicare will operate differently in 2025.

They say if you build it they will come. Well they came and they’re continuing to come hence the need for a new home! Rainbow Seniors ROC kicked off its Capital Campaign last evening at CRISP Rochester and we’re off to a great start. The need for rec centers and safe places for LGBTQ + older adults within our communities is growing on a day to day basis.
