Have you completed your National
Aging Program Information System (NAPIS) form?
Your meal is sponsored in part by the
National Senior Nutrition Project. We can offer your meals for a donation
because the State of South Dakota and the Federal Government reimburse us
for part of the cost. If you are 60 or over and wish to dine, for a
donation, the Federal Government requires that we have a NAPIS form filled
out by you and returned to us one time per year. Your information is
confidential. If you do not have a NAPIS form on file with us, we have no choice but to charge you the full cost of the meal, which
is $5.75. If you have not yet completed your NAPIS form for 2008, please
contact our Nutrition cashiers, Susanne, Priscilla, or Rhonda for the NAPIS forms and assistance. Thank you for your cooperation.
