Just for you

Jul 22, 2025

Good afternoon Norwich and the Upper Valley readers

And as the title reads:

One of these cars is not like the others. Actually, they are in my opinion. They are all unique and a bit sporty, The Subaru Forrester generally receives positive ratings year after year and even though it was parked at the wrong place at the right time it is worthy to mention.

Only mother nature could accomplish this which happened just after a brief rainstorm on Main Street.

And this just in from Tuck’s Rock Dojo

2 Norwich kids were in the Tuck's Rock Dojo band who traveled to Hungary for a rock tour.

HERE is the full story, in case you want to share any or all. The Norwich kids are: Lila Bucci & Jaden Stocking Sasvari

In the newsletter I sent out there is a movie that perfectly captures the vibe and the accomplishments. The direct link to the movie is HERE

Here is some information on Medicare Fraud

Tell everyone you know!



From: Medicare.gov
Beware of scammers, sometimes posing as salespeople, offering "free" services
or gifts. They may be trying to trick you into signing up for hospice care
without your knowledge.
Here's how it works:

  1.
Scammers text, call, email, post fake ads, or even knock on your door.
  2.
They offer "free" gifts or in-home perks, like cooking or cleaning services,
protein shakes, medical equipment, or groceries.
  3.
In exchange, they may ask for your Medicare Number and ask you to sign a
paper.
  4.
They're tricking you into signing up for hospice care, so they can
fraudulently bill Medicare for services in your name.

Remember: Never give out your Medicare Number and don't sign anything for free
services — it's a scam.
