How will you screen service providers?

We feel very strongly about making sure people or companies we recommend are licensed, insured and that a copy of both is kept in our office. We also check references verifying their quality of work and dependability. Additionally, we are checking lists with the Better Business Bureau and the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance Consumer Affairs Division to ensure there are no complaints or problems with our service providers.

What if I decide to join in the middle of the year? Will I still pay the full price or is it pro-rated?

You have two options. (1) Seniors joining in the first year, 2008, will be Charter Members. The first year is being discounted and the cost can be as little as $100. (2) You may also choose to join on a pro-rated basis. The fees are as follows:

May – July: $75
August – October: $50
November – December: $25

Although it is possible to join on a pro-rated basis, if you want to be a Charter Member and receive a 10% discount on future membership fees, the cost remains $100 no matter the time of year you join.

What if I need something that’s not on the list?

Can I buy a membership for a loved one?
