Jon's Corner
Normally I talk about something I have been doing in my corner of the newsletter. This month I want to tell you about something I'm looking forward to doing in April and that is attending the Disability Policy Seminar in person.
I have attended it once before virtually but have always wanted to go in person.
I will be traveling to Washington DC with others from SUFU to attend the Disability Policy Seminar. You can see the full schedule on their website at
We are going to be making a presentation to our Senators and Representatives about Social Security Reform, specifically Asset Limit Increases and Marriage Penalty Elimination on the last day. Those are called hill visits.
The group that is going has been preparing for this hill visit and we are practicing our presentation.
In addition, the other ways we have been preparing are by talking about all the new people we will meet at the seminar. We have reviewed what we should wear and how to pack the right size suitcase for our travels. For those that are flying what to expect when going through security and what the rules are for flying. We have all been planning if we want to bring spending money for our own personal use. We reviewed what it will be like traveling on the Metro. In addition, our group has committed to walking 15 minutes every day to prepare for the walking we will be doing in Washington DC. We may have the opportunity to do some sightseeing while we are there, so we have talked about that and what to expect.
I look forward to giving you a full report on my time at the Disability Policy Seminar when we return. I will try to take some photos to share in the next newsletter.
