Editor:

The Optum open House last Saturday was such a wonderful surprise and event.

There were 18 different services available in Optum. I learned so much and was so surprised that there are so many specialists at our Optum, which is here in Leisure World. Every service had a professional person ready to discuss what he or she offers to help keep us healthy. Amazing!

Seal Beach Mayor Joe Kalmick was a guest speaker, as was our Seal Beach Councilmember Sandra Massa-Lavitt. United States Rep. Michelle Steel who represents our district also attended, along with other officials. This did not include our doctors and specialists in other fields who were also there.

All were ready to talk and help us understand Optum programs, its staff and professional specialists. All the dignitaries from Leisure World and the insurance people had booths. There was music, tents and lots of fun.

Another surprise: I didn’t know they had an incentive program set up with the food trucks. People who discussed their programs with them got a $10 gift certificate to have lunch there.

Everyone should have been aware about this special event. Next time, send flyers to every Mutual publicizing this important event.

I want to thank the person who put two beautiful small rocks at the entrance to my home on Interlachen. It was so heart warming to me. The colors are so bright and pretty. As I was admiring them, I turned them over. On the bottom of each rock was written “the painter.” Since I did not know who to thank, I decided to put a note in the Leisure World paper. You just do not know how much you made my day and life.

I am leaving the rocks there so I can think about you each and every time I go in and out of my home. I have also included you in my daily prayers. God bless you.
