A Word from the Presidents
 

Hej Alla,

Finally Friday, but this week I am actually looking forward to Monday, as it is when the Eliason Merit Award tickets will be released.  Please try to buy your tickets as early as possible as we are sure to be sold out very quickly.  Keep an eye out for the details on how to reserve your ticket this Monday October 28th.
 
One of the highlights from The Swedish Affär earlier this year was the All Stars Panel with a gaming focus. The panelists from Ubisoft Massive Entertainment, King, DICE and Zoink Games from Sweden were proving just what The New York Times’ recent article stated; “The Scandinavian country has recently become a hotbed of video game development, and is home to the makers of some of the industry’s most recognized titles…”   You can read more about the Swedish gaming industry via the article link further down in this newsletter.

Have a wonderful weekend !! 

Gudrun

A message from Bright Star: 

Obama Care is here! Are you ready for it?
January 1st, 2014, most American’s will be required to have health insurance coverage or pay a fee of $95 for the first year, or 1% of one’s yearly income, whichever is greater.
(Fine print, exclusions, limitations, rules and regulations exist. It is insurance after all!)
 
Medicare’s Annual Election Period
October 15th – December  7th – During the open enrollment period you can switch your Medicare coverage if you wish.
Are you getting close to your 65th birthday? Then it’s time to make a selection.  

Are you planning on living a long life?
If you exercise and eat right, chances are good you will make it to age 90 and longer. The possibility of needing assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, eating and more, will increase each year. Transferring the financial risk associated with care, might be a good idea. Planning ahead is crucial.
