As we all come out of our winter hibernations, know that the Senior Center has a calendar full of vibrant activities that will help
to put a smile on your face and a healthy spring in your step!
Whether you have visited the Senior Center for a Senior Parking Permit, Income Tax Assistance, Art Classes, Movies, an
Exercise Class, Festive Party, Informative Lecture, SHINE appointment, or other resource, we are always happy to see you.
We will be hosting a Senior CharlieCard Day & Presentation about the Real ID on March 12th and back by popular
demand, our Saint Patrick's Day Potato Bake Lunch will be held on March 19th. Make sure to look inside to read more
about the great programs we have planned for March.
As the Senior Center attracts more visitors and we add more events in our rooms, we ask that you be mindful of your group's
or program's start time so that we may accommodate everyone. For example, if your group starts at 1:00, please know that if
you come at noon, you will no longer be able to get into the room until 15 minutes before the time stated on the schedule. We
ask that you wait in the lounge until then so the room can be ready for the next activity. This is a change that we need to make
to ensure smoother transitions and with your cooperation, we will be able to offer more exciting activities for all.
Thank you for understanding

Dealing with Changes in Vision
Robert McGillivray, Certified
Low Vision Therapist
The Carroll Center for the Blind
Many people are confused and frustrated by vision
changes. Understanding how these changes affect how you
see and function can help to reduce this anxiety. Bob
McGillivray will review the different causes of and
characteristics of visual changes and how low vision
devices and techniques can improve the quality of one's
performance at work, school or home. Most individuals with
vision problems have some ability to see, and with the
proper assessment, devices and instruction, they can often
accomplish tasks they thought would be impossible.

SCAM ALERT!
FAMILY/FRIEND HAS BEEN
ARRESTED OR HAS BEEN IN
AN ACCIDENT SCAM:
Someone impersonating a friend of
family member calls pretending
they have been in an accident,
arrested, or stuck in a foreign
country. The scammers are very
good at what they do and the story
they tell you, is very convincing.
TIP: Slow the process
down... then get off the phone and
contact a family member or the
person who supposedly contacted
you. Verify all information.
Call the Senior Center or the Police
Department with any questions.
WHAT IF MY MEDICARE T"H`N
PLAN WON'T COVER A PROGRAM
DRUG I NEED? lnmw '*'"NI°r
nwr�e Nred!
If your Medicare plan won't cover a drug urE"°'Y°
or the co -pay is high, you have options. You can ask
your doctor whether there are generic, over-the-
counter, or less expensive brand -name drugs that
could work as well as the ones you're taking now.
You can see if you qualify for a Special Enrollment
Period to change to a different plan.
You can also request a coverage determination called
an "exception" if:
1. You think your plan should cover a drug that's not
on its formulary because the other treatment options
on your plan's formulary won't work for you.
2. You believe your plan's coverage rules, like prior
authorization, should be waived.
3. You think your plan should charge a lower amount
for a drug you're taking on the plan's non -preferred
drug tier because you can't take any of the other lower
cost drugs for the same condition.
If you request an exception, your doctor will need to
give a supporting statement to your plan explaining
why you need the drug you're requesting.
Call the Senior Center at 617-972-
6490 to set up an appointment, or if
you still need assistance in
reviewing your coverage, call 1-800-
MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). You
can also compare plans online at
www.medicare.gov/flnd-a-plan.

CENTER BOOK CLUB
WHEN: Wednesday, March 20 at 9:30.
WHERE: Senior Center, 31 Marshall St.
Join us to discuss: The Girls of Atomic
City by Denise Kiernan. Copies of the book are
available at the Watertown Free Public Library. At the
height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was
home to 75,000 residents, many of them young women
from small towns across the U.S., and consumed more
electricity than New York City, yet it was shrouded in
such secrecy that it did not appear on any map.
Thousands of civilians, were recruited to this secret city,
enticed by the promise of solid wages and war -ending
work. What were they actually doingthere? Very few
knew. The purpose of this mysterious government
project was kept a secret from the outside world. The
women who kept this town running would find out at the
end of the war, when Oak Ridge's secret was revealed
and changed the world forever. The Gir/s ofAtomic City
rescues a remarkable, forgotten chapter of World War II
from obscurity. New members are always welcome!
