August 14th is National Social Security Day. It’s also the day in 1935 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law.

What Is Social Security:

Social Security is a program that provides financial assistance to Americans throughout their lives. It offers benefits such as:
  • Retirement income: A monthly check that replaces part of a worker’s income when they retire or reduce their hours. Eligibility is based on work history, and most jobs withhold Social Security taxes from paychecks to fund these benefits.
  • Disability Insurance (SSDI): Provides financial support to people who are disabled.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): For some individuals 65 and older who have limited income and resources.
  • Survivors benefits: Helps families when a spouse or parent dies. 




12P – The Rotary Club of Metropolis meets every Thursday at  Community Christian Church, 1150 Country Club Rd.

Sponsorships begin at $40 per week

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM

Friday, August 16th at 5:30PM – Bring your appetite and your family and friends! It’s time to raise money for Weekend Blessings in Metropolis. This event is donation-based, so any amount you wish to contribute helps!
You’ll enjoy Spaghetti, Salad, Bread, Dessert and a Drink at the donation amount of your choice.
Too many children in Massac County spend weekends hungry. That’s why the Weekend Blessings program was started at First United Methodist Church. Each Wednesday, volunteers gather at church to stuff back packs with good, wholesome, food for children to take home on Friday so they have food to eat on the weekend when they are not provided breakfasts and lunches by their school.
