Medicare Advantage Update
THE GOAL OF THIS FREE NON-PARTISAN, NON-RELIGIOUS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE INFORMATIONAL SESSION IS TO PROVIDE SENIORS FROM CARROLL COUNTY THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO AN EXPERT IN THE MEDICARE/MEDICARE ADVANTAGE FIELD WHO WILL PROVIDE A ROADMAP FOR THE NEXT STEPS IN THIS UNTIMELY AND DIFFICULT INSURANCE SITUATION.
Changes in Medicare for Carroll County
The Moultonborough Public Library invites you to a presentation on upcoming changes in Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), medigap insurance and Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage).d
The session will feature Nancy Papp, a leading independent insurance broker with expertise in Medicare and other elder health coverage.
This forum is especially timely. Big changes are in the works for 2026 elder health coverage. For example, all Carroll County residents who now have Medicare Advantage plans will lose that coverage and will need to shop for alternative Medicare supplemental and prescription drug coverage.
The open enrollment period, when Medicare beneficiaries can make drug coverage choices for 2026, begins October 15 and closes on December 7.
Consumer advocates say it’s always a good idea to review your coverage every year and shop for the best plan to meet your needs. This is especially important this year because of changes in Medicare law and the marketplace for other elder health coverage.
Ms. Papp, owner of Portside Independent Insurance in Portsmouth, is not allowed to market her services in this type of forum. But she will answer your questions. Participants will go away with a handout that equips them with resources to continue their own research.
Seating limited, sign up here.
Common Man for Ukraine
We are very proud to announce that our November program will be provided by Common Man: Ukraine. Some of you know that Common Man volunteers have visited Ukraine 13 times during the war. They provide food, clothing and many other necessities. They have also been organizing counseling programs and recreation opportunities for children who have lost parents and women who have lost husbands. We should all be proud to have a New Hampshire-based company like Common Man in our state.
2026 Changes to Medicare Advantage
Come learn about the upcoming 2026 changes to Medicare Advantage in Carroll County from Nancy Papp of Portside Independent Health Consultant.
This informative session will provide an authoritative explanation of why these changes are happening and what you can do to prepare.

No Kings Protest
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Join us at 4 Corners in Conway and in Wolfeboro (153 S Main St Junction of Main and Center Street) as we once again take to the streets to collectively raise our voices against the attacks on our democracy.
In addition to our visibility protest we will also be collecting food for the local pantries, winter clothing for the Way Station, and hosting an action tent for postcard writing and other educational opportunities.
Join us from 12 - 2 for this peaceful assembly!
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
