We are constantly expanding our online services to give you freedom and control when doing business with us. Our new online cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) notices are another example of our commitment in this area. Soon, you’ll be the first to know your new benefit amount! Later this year, we will post the Social Security COLA notices online for retirement, survivors, and disability beneficiaries with amy Social Security account. The COLA announcement usually occurs in October, but final benefit amounts won’t be calculated and available until December, when we send COLA notices that contain the benefit amount for the next calendar year.
These COLA notices will now be available to view and save via the Message Center inside my Social Security. The Message Center is a secure, convenient portal where you can receive sensitive communications we don’t send through email or text.
This year, you will still receive your COLA notice by mail. In the future, you will be able to choose whether you receive your notice online instead of on paper.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Greater Toledo Right to Life is looking for three to four teams of two individuals to deploy signs around Toledo. This stealth marketing campaign is designed to create awareness of horrific conditions at Toledo’s last abortion mill and to influence ProMedica’s Board to rescind the Transfer Agreement with Capital Care Network of Toledo. Will you volunteer?
Volunteers need to be:
Extremely Dependable
Highly Mobile
Adventurist/Risk Takers
The volunteers for this project play a vital role in helping to get our message out to influence public opinion and do what the billboard companies serving Toledo refused to allow us to do. Time is short as ProMedica is scheduled to revisit the decision they made last February very soon. We have very visible signs that need to be placed in high traffic areas around Toledo. We need 3 to 4 deployment teams ASAP.
Call Today 419-535-5800 ask for Ed.

Rev Terry Rebert, tjrdet@aol.com;
Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Thanks for being my neighbor and making our neighborhood beautiful.
People must meet peopleJean Vanier, Untiring Advocate for People with Disabilities was honored for his five decades of advocacy for people with disabilities by being named the 2015 recipient of the Templeton Prize.
The $1.7 million award is given annually by the Templeton Foundation to a person who “has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works.” The foundation was established by the late billionaire investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton.
In his statement Vanier, 86, said he hoped that his receiving the prize would lead to more opportunities for people with and without developmental disabilities to meet and learn from each other:
People are healed and become more human as they enter into real relationships with others. They then discover that under all the feelings of stress, rejection and humiliation, that they are someone! Those in need and those who come to help are all being healed, and are all, together, becoming more human. Our society will really become human as we discover that the strong need the weak, just as the weak need the strong. We are all together working for the common good.
“We must start to meet: people must meet people; we are all human beings. Before being Christians or Jews or Muslims, before being Americans or Russians or Africans, before being generals or priests, rabbis or imams, before having visible or invisible disabilities, we are all human beings with hearts capable of loving.”
Have a wonderful week.
Peace,
Terry
