The BCBSM Retiree Association completed its 21^st year of serving BCBSM retirees with an annual meeting of members in Frankenmuth, Michigan.  This was the second time our annual meeting was conducted in mid-Michigan Frankenmuth.

The day was bright and cheerful, new officers were elected for the coming year, food and drink were plentiful and socializing with former co-workers was much in evidence.  Andrea Young, manager of BCBSM Employee Benefits, briefed attendees on the coming changes in health care benefits for non bargaining unit retirees effective January 1, 2004 and answered questions from the floor.  Numerous door prizes were given out to complete the meeting.

Afterward, many attendees took time to visit the various shopping and entertainment venues in the Frankenmuth area.
