Dear Colleagues,

Following are brief descriptions of new and updated articles on SilverLink since our last Ezine to you. If a description interests you, just click the link in the "Click On" column for all the details.

Item	Click On	Description
1	Register for Our Annual Fall Dinner	The Fall Dinner this year will be on November 6. Remember that if you paid your membership dues for 2009, the cost of the 2009 Fall Dinner is $40 for you and $40 for your companion. The cost for non-members is $50.
2	Pay Your Membership Dues for 2010	While your 2009 membership card is still good until the end of the year, this is your first opportunity to pay membership dues for 2010. When you pay 2010 membership dues, you and your companion will each pay $10 less for the 2010 Fall Dinner and for the 2010 Spring Brunch.
3	The Sacramento Chapter of the World Affairs Council	Newly established in 2008, the Sacramento Chapter of the World Affairs Council offers what many of us have been looking for -- a highly respected, trusted, and impartial forum for discourse on world affairs. This article gives you a direct link to the Sacramento Chapter website.
4	Health Benefits Update	"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" a report by David Humphers, CSUS-ERFA Health Benefits Director and board member of the Emeritus Association

7	Bi-Annual Newsletter to Go Online	The Emeritus Association board has not set a date for going online with the Silver Bulletin -- yet. But the decision to do so is only a matter of time. Find out why, read what the Emeritus Association has done to prepare for online publications and learn how you can make sure that you continue to receive the Silver Bulletin.
8	New Blog Page	The new page introduces you to the issues-oriented blog sites of two emeritus faculty that are likely well-known to you. Dr. Duane Campbell of Education and Dr. Tom Kando of Sociology swing the fine axe of comment and commentary. They describe their websites in their own words and invite you to join in with a quick link to their blogs.
9	Filling Bob Bess' Shoes	Who will fill Bob Bess' Shoes?

Sincerely yours,

Alan Wade, President
