Will you be watching the ball drop at Times Square, New York on New Year’s Eve? We plan to sit by the fireside struggling to keep our heavy eyelids open to view the sight. Did you know that the ball is made of crystal and electric lights on a pole that is 77 feet high? It will begin to drop slowly, one minute before midnight and comes to rest exactly at midnight. This New Year’s highlight began in 1907 but was discontinued during World War II. This spectacular sight is viewed in our country and around the world. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Members at our Center celebrated New Year’s Eve dancing to Disc Jockey Vinnie Carr and dined at a dinner catered by Lasse’s Restaurant. There are always events and programs and services at our Center that can be enjoyed by everyone. Did you happen to see the feature story in the Connecticut Post recently about member Roy Green’s fascinating World War II memories. Roy, a 92 year old Navy veteran still bowls and enjoys golf. I posted this story on our bulletin board in the hall. We celebrated the holidays here at a Breakfast with Santa Claus and sang and danced at our Christmas Tree Lighting Party. There are a number of exciting, informative seminars coming up this month including the popular Grown Up and Tell discussion. You can check out our monthly Special Events on page 5 where you will be sure to find interesting and fun activities you won’t want to miss.

Utility scam
News stories about people impersonating utility employees have cropped up in recent days. These fake workers call customers saying they are behind on their utility bills and must make an immediate payment in order to avoid shut-off.
We don’t like the scam artists who pose as utility workers and threaten customers. We want you to report these incidents to us and file a report with your local police department.
If you suspect you’re being scammed:
- Check your caller ID and note the number you’re being called from.
- Get the caller’s name and position with the company, and ask for a callback number. You can also call us to ensure you were really speaking with a legitimate utility representative.
- Have the caller confirm your account number. (Your account number is on your bill.)
- Never provide personal or account information to anyone you’re not sure is legitimatel representing the company.
- Call UI at 800.722.5584
