Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island will host an informational Medicare meeting for individuals who are about to be 65 years old and eligible to enroll in Medicare as well as for those who are retiring and will no longer have health insurance coverage through an employer. These meetings are ideal for people who want to learn more about initial election periods and the general Medicare process. It's also an opportunity to learn about the plans available from BCBSRI. Light refreshments will be served.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at , 191 Old Tower Hill Road

2. Make a difference in your community. Head over to the Kingston Free Library for a Community Volunteer Presentation at 7 p.m., 2605 Kingstown Road.
