Guided by its mission of encouraging healthy living through meaningful social
connections, Grouper connects its members to benefits that cover costs
associated with group activities. By joining Grouper and staying connected
through amateur radio, ARRL members who are 65+ and have participating Medicare
Advantage or Medicare Supplement plans can unlock the activity benefit offered
by these plans and receive a check in the mail to support their membership
dues.

"Grouper is thrilled to help support ARRL members by offering access to an
activity benefit that encourages social connection," said Doug Wenners,
Grouper's Chief Executive Officer. "This partnership is a natural fit because
both organizations understand that social connection builds relationships,
encourages involvement, and enhances our communities."

Grouper supports ARRL members who are eligible for the activity benefit by
helping to offset membership dues and the participation costs associated with
their amateur radio activities. Members are then encouraged to remain active so
they can receive ongoing activity benefits.

"ARRL is excited to partner with Grouper to expand opportunities for connection
and learning within our community," said ARRL Membership Manager Marc
Spardello, W1NJ. "This partnership allows us to connect more people who share a
passion for amateur radio through ARRL membership and ARRL Affiliated Clubs.
We'll also reach other Grouper members, inviting them to explore radio
communications through ARRL and our engaged community of members."
