Corvette won on couples
53rd Wedding Anniversary!
Sally Layman, 73 of Davison, shows her excitement as she stands with Chris Wise, 33 and Vice President of Randy Wise Automotive team, and looks at her new 2011 Corvette. Layman and her husband Ralph Layman, 74, bought two fifty dollar tickets as part of a United Way fundraiser to win a new Corvette and were informed that they won on Nov. 1 their fifty third wedding anniversary. The raffle sold-out their 1,500 tickets and raised roughly 26,000 dollars for United Way stated Wise. "We are really happy, and the shock is still soaking in a bit," said Ralph Layman.
From all of us at United Way, Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!

Every hour, ten more Michiganders turn 65 years old. According to the 2006-2008 American Community Survey, there are currently 53,075 persons aged 65 and older in Genesee County. On January 1, 2011, nationwide, the oldest Baby Boomers will turn 65, adding 10,000 seniors to the Social Security roles. Every day for the next 19 years it is estimated that 10,000 more will cross that threshold.
The United Way of Genesee County Older Adults System of Care has released a Prescription Drug Assistance Informational brochure. A survey conducted in 2010 by the system of care identified the need for prescription assistance. The brochure provides valuable information to help seniors and their caregivers make informed decisions. For a copy, click here.
