extended the offer for 10 practitioners to purchase ads
(business card ads) for $100.00 each. HHP will receive the
opposite page at no additional cost. Peggi will follow up
with Mr. Lee to see if we could run half a page of
advertising and a half page article instead of the original
offer. Some members expressed interest in the half page
advertising. Contact Peggi White to sign up. Melissa Banno
reported that the membership list is currently accurate. HHP
business cards are available to all members to publicize the

Guest Speaker
Kelly Kurz, Paperwork Solutions, LLC,
spoke about her business that assists with routine financial
tasks. She assists individuals and families who have
difficulty managing their personal affairs or who do not
have time to manage their finances. Even those who are
capable of making financial decisions may need a helping
hand with organization and paperwork details. Sometimes
illness or physical disability keeps people from completing
day-to-day financial tasks, and sometimes paperwork becomes
overwhelming after the loss of a spouse or changes in
personal circumstances. Often with just a couple of monthly
home visits, clients can maintain their independence without
burdening friends and family. Fees are negotiable. Paperwork
Solutions does not provide legal or investment advice, but
can serve as liaison with legal, tax, and investment
professionals. All information shared is kept completely
confidential. Kelly will speak about fraud and abuse at the
Pitt County Convention Center Elder Fair on May 18, 2006.
