WHY DO WE CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH?
    Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day) is a federal holiday in the
United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. It is also of-
ten observed for celebrating African American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has
been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865. The day
was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the
Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth's commemoration is on the
anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army
general Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas, which was the last
state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery.
    President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1863, had
freed the enslaved people in Texas and all the other Southern secessionist states of the Con-
federacy except for parts of states not in rebellion. Although the Emancipation Proclamation
declared an end to slavery in the Confederate States, it did not end slavery in states that re-
mained in the Union. For a short while after the fall of the Confederacy, slavery remained legal
in two of the Union border states – Delaware and Kentucky. Those enslaved people were freed
with the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished chattel slavery nationwide
on December 6, 1865. The last enslaved people present in the continental United States were
freed when the enslaved people held in the Indian Territories that had sided with the Confed-
eracy were released, namely the Choctaw, in 1866.
   Celebrations date to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas.
They spread across the South and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s,
often centering on a food festival. Participants in the Great Migration out of the South carried
their celebrations to other parts of the country. It grew in popularity in the 1970s with a focus
on African American freedom and African American arts. Beginning with Texas by proclamation
in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have formally
recognized the holiday in various ways. Juneteenth became a federal holiday on June 17, 2021.

    Why is it important? Juneteenth marks a date of major significance in American history and
shows us that freedom and racial equality have always been a hard-fought battle for black Ameri-
cans – a battle that continues to this day. It is a reminder that "nobody is free until everybody is
free." It should be celebrated as the day when all Americans were liberated and created equal.
It should be a day to reflect, to learn, and to grow as a nation and as a people.

Medicare News
FIND AND COMPARE DOCTORS NEAR YOU
Are you looking for a new doctor and not sure where to start? Medicare.gov makes it
quick and easy to find and compare doctors and other providers in your area.
Here's how:
    1. Visit Medicare.gov, enter your location and select "Doctors & clinicians" under
       Find Care Providers. You can also search by specialty, like general practice or
       internal medicine.
    2. Review details about the doctors you're interested in, like their contact informa-
       tion, practice locations, hospital affiliation, and performance information.
    3. You can also select the "compare" button to compare up to 3 different healthcare
       providers you're interested in.
Once you're ready to schedule a visit with a new doctor, be sure to call ahead to verify
general information, like office location, if they're accepting new patients with Medi-
care, and if you need a referral.
Keep a list of all your favorite providers. Then, select the heart icon next to any of the
providers to add them to your list of favorites.
If you’re not already logged into your Medicare account, a window will pop up for you
to log into (or create) your secure Medicare account. Once you’re logged in, the provider
will either automatically add to your favorites, or, if you’re adding a favorite doctor or
clinician, you can select the box to make this provider your primary clinician, select
the location you use, and then add to Favorites.

                           pense film finds New York City ad executive Roger O. Thornhill (Cary
                           Grant) pursued by ruthless spy Phillip Vandamm (James Mason) after
                           Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent. Hunted relentlessly
                           by Vandamm's associates, the harried Thornhill ends up on a cross-
                           country journey, meeting the beautiful and mysterious Eve Kendall
                           (Eva Marie Saint) along the way. Soon Vandamm's henchmen close
                           in on Thornhill, resulting in a number of iconic action sequences. An

                         June 14th - Last Looks: Charlie Waldo (Charlie Hunnam) is an ex-LAPD

                         deep in the woods. Alistair Pinch (Mel Gibson) is an eccentric actor who
                         spends his days drunk on the set of his TV show. When Pinch's wife is
                         found dead, he is the prime suspect and Waldo is convinced to come out
                         of retirement to investigate what happened. The case finds Waldo con-
                         tending with gangsters, Hollywood executives and pre-school teachers,
                         all in pursuit of clearing Pinch's name ... or confirming his guilt. Actors:
                         Charlie Hunnam, Morena Baccarin, Mel Gibson, Lucy Fry, Rupert Friend,

                         WORLD ELDER ABUSE AWARNESS DAY: PEACE CONFERENCE
                  Each year millions of older adults around the world suffer from some form of abuse.
                  Instead of living their lives in peace, these adults are forced to deal with physical
                  abuse, mental abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, or financial abuse. Others suffer
                  from neglect, which can sometimes include self-neglect. As World Elder Abuse Aware-
ness Day (WEAAD) 2022 approaches, Top of Alabama Regional Council of Governments (TARCOG)
is sponsoring its first PEACE: Preventing Elder Abuse and Criminal Exploitation Conference. The
conference takes its name from the former PEACE Coalition, a multi-disciplinary organization that
worked for many years to address issues relating to the abuse and exploitation of senior and disabled
adults. Every June, for over ten years, the PEACE coalition organized a WEAAD event designed to
bring awareness to these issues and to identify resources available to victims of abuse and exploitation.
Although the PEACE coalition is no longer active, TARCOG is pleased to continue this event after a
two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PEACE conference be held on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. This event will feature presentations
from the Alabama Securities Commission, the Better Business Bureau, and other agencies. Special
attention will be devoted to the financial exploitation targeting older adults and opioid misuse among
the senior population. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion devoted to exploring com-
munity resources available to victims of abuse and their advocates. Lunch will be provided.
There is no cost to attend this event. Those wishing to attend may register through Eventbrite begin-
ning the first week in June. Additional information about the conference, including the location and
time, will be available during registration. Those wishing to register by phone or those who would like
additional information about this event can contact LaTanya D. Rhines, Elder Law Attorney at TARCOG
by calling 256-830-0818.

SUMMER WISH LIST from MEALS ON WHEELS

1.    SUMMER SUBSTITUTES – If you are sometimes available at lunchtime
on weekdays, please consider being a substitute driver for Meals on Wheels. We
need substitutes to deliver meals when our regular volunteers cannot serve on their
scheduled day. Since so many people go on vacation in the summertime, the need
is most critical June through August. Without volunteers, we cannot get the meals
to the elderly clients who so desperately need them!

2.   YEAR-ROUND SUBSTITUTES – Since Meals on Wheels needs approxi-
mately 500 volunteers per month, we also need substitute drivers year-round.

3.    YEAR-ROUND VOLUNTEERS -               All meals are delivered by volun-
teers, year-round. Approximately 250 meals are delivered each day, on 22 routes
throughout Huntsville. We ask our volunteers to commit to delivering once a
month, for about 1.5 hours, at lunchtime. We provide meals packed and ready for
pick up, and directions to each residence.

4.    DONATIONS – We receive meals for our clients through Top of Alabama
Regional Council of Governments, but we rely on our local community for dollars
to run our program. We are grateful for donations in any amount, from individuals,
churches, businesses, and civic organizations.

5.   DESERVING SENIORS – Our goal is to serve every deserving senior in
Huntsville. If you, or someone you know, is -
a.   Over age 60
b.   Unable to cook for self
c.   Primarily homebound
d.   Living alone, or with someone who cannot cook
e.   Living in Huntsville city limits
     - then you/they qualify to receive Meals on Wheels.

Please contact us – 256-382-0920

   “As a physician, I know a little bit about Medicare and

    how it works. So when I retired, FirstCommunity
    Medicare Supplement was my first choice. You know                                                 • Choose your own doctor or specialist
