Have you completed your National
Aging Program Information System (NAPIS) form for 2008?
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.
