Dear ACFC Covered Employee, |
|
Welcome to the December 2009 ACFC News and
Promotions E-Newsletter.
It's hard to believe this year is coming to an
end. Thanksgiving is behind us and the
excitement of the holidays fills the air. One
thing we all learned to do better this year was
to spend our money wisely and the ACFC wants to
help you save more money with a full page of
money-saving opportunities for you and your
family. You'll find a list of eateries where
kids eat free, websites for online coupons, and
special discounts available to Verizon
associates. Just visit the
ACFC website
and click on the link below the piggy bank full
of money you'll be saving.
You'll find more money-savings tools and tips
from the ACFC in a special Clip 'n Save Toolkit
that will be available after the first of the
year. Be sure to visit the ACFC website in
January to take advantage of this special
promotion. Please remember that supplies are
limited so the ACFC asks that you only request
promotional items that apply to you or your
immediate family.
Don't forget that the Backup Care $15.00 co-pay
is being waived for the entire month of
December, making this a totally free benefit for
the month.
Be sure to visit the new Holiday Careville where
you'll find the information and resources you
need for a balanced and healthy work/life.
The ACFC wishes everyone a very safe and happy
holiday season!

 Monthly
News and Promotions from
the ACFC November
2009
 
|
|
Dear ACFC Covered Employee, |
|
Welcome to the November 2009
ACFC News and Promotions
E-Newsletter. What a glorious
time of year! The fall colors
signal the start of the holiday
season, beginning with
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a
special holiday in so many ways.
Not only is it a day to give
thanks to our founding fathers
(and mothers), but it also gives
us all a day to reflect on how
much we have to give thanks for
in our own lives, and to spend
time with our families. Of
course, we are all thankful for
the abundance of food on
Thanksgiving day.
Featured this month is the Flu
Awareness Kit. The ACFC is
providing some essential tools
to help you protect yourself and
your family from colds and flu
this Fall and Winter season.
Visit the
ACFCcares website,
from home or work, for
all the latest information, and
a preparedness guide, on the
H1N1 flu.
Check back later in the month
for other great books and
resources, and upcoming links to
Kids Eat Free resources. You'll
find information about
restaurants that offer free
kids' meals to help make those
special eating-out occasions
affordable.
Please remember that supplies
are limited so the ACFC asks
that you only request
promotional items that apply to
you or your immediate family.

Backup Care Co-Pay Waived
for November and December |
|
The ACFC recognizes that the
holiday seasons can be
challenging, especially when
your regular backup care becomes
unavailable. To help you
through this stressful time, the
$15.00 per day co-pay for Backup
Care is being waived for the
months of November and
December. In addition, each
employee will be entitled to
either 50 hours or 5 days of
care during each month.
Get all the details about this
invaluable benefit at the
ACFCcares website. Click on
the link for Backup Care for all
the specifics and registration
information. Registration is
required so sign up today to be
prepared when you need
assistance.

The Great American Smokeout
|
|
Another important event in
November is the Great American
Smokeout, held each year by the
American Cancer Society. This
year the event will be on
November 19, 2009. The day is
set aside to help smokers quit
smoking, and quit using tobacco
products, for at least one day,
with the hope that they will
quit completely.
V-Z Life is supporting this
effort with their monthly
Life411 Promo:
Becoming-and-Staying-Tobacco
Free. Learn about ways to deal
with difficult conversations
about smoking, ways to quit, and
get your own Smoking
Cessation Booklet.
