Our Christmas Brunch at the Fountains of Loveland was enjoyed by 84 of our retirees and spouses. The Fountains had an impressive buffet which we thoroughly enjoyed. Prizes were donated by HP and Agilent. Scott Beach, Scottish Bagpiper, was our entertainer.

HP Retiree and HPREC Web Sites…for HP and Agilent retirees

This summary has been developed to answer frequently asked questions, so you will know what’s available on the Retiree Web site and how to find it. You can also browse the Retiree Information Directory A-Z (site map).

HP Retiree Web sitewww.hp.com/retiree is your path to all other Web sites in this article. Bookmark it. To access the secure areas you will need password.

HP’s Retiree home page has recently been updated for easier navigation. Tweaks are still in process. There are now four main groupings of information: #1 - HP News & Information - the “Contacts” link includes HP and Agilent contact and change of address information, plus daily news updates. #2 - Get Involved - you’ll find our HPREC Web site here, by clicking “Retiree Clubs, Groups and Alumni Networking,” then “Bay Area.”

Important : To receive periodic e-mails from organizations that fit your interests, you have three places to sign up. For privacy reasons, these cannot be shared or connected.

For e-mails: a) From HP, choose to Opt-in to Stay Connected to HP. This is a separate

e-mail database from the HPREC e-mail directory.

b) From HPREC, go to the Bay Area page, select Retiree e-mail directory. Doing this allows you to look for former co-workers and make a connection, and if you elect, allows a member of our Club Board to communicate with you in between newsletters.

c) From HP Alumni Association, click on “Retiree Clubs, Groups and Alumni Networking,” scroll down to Alumni Groups; follow the “To Join” instructions.

#3 - Shopping, Discounts & Special Offers is where you’ll find the Employee & Retiree Purchase Program (EPP) and Discount Programs from HP vendors. More HP Retiree Logo merchandise should be available in the next month or two. Watch for new offerings by clicking on “Overview”, then “HP Gear” in left navigation bar.

#4 - Benefits - occasional updates on HP and Agilent benefit matters, the latest Medicare FLASH presentation, plus connection to Addison Avenue Credit Union Web site.

Other Helpful HP-related Sites:

www.hpalumni.org - The HP Alumni Association operates online discussion forums for former HP and Agilent employees, not just retirees…plus it provides reference information and an opportunity to ask transitioning questions, includes termination checklists, historical stock prices for HP/Agilent/Verigy stock, job posts, LinkedIn networking, and much more. There is no cost to join. The HPAA is independent of HP and is also separate from HPREC membership.
