IRTA Dues Increase

Did you enjoy your "13th Check" on September 1, 2012? IRTA lobbied and won that benefit for you. Now the IRTA needs your help! The Indiana Retired Teachers Association has had to raise it's dues for members, but it's still a bargain! Compare the following to the additional $450 you received in your 13th check...

IRTA Yearly dues are now $35.00 per year. Lifetime Membership dues are:

50 & under $700 or $732 if taken in 3 installments
51-74 $550 or $582 if taken in 3 installments
75 & over $350 or $381 in 3 installments

Associate Membership (Associate Members receive all benefits, but cannot vote in Association elections) dues are:

$10 for one year
$18 for two years
$24 for three years

IRTA is a non-partisan, secular organization which lobbies for the benefit of all retired teachers in Indiana. Due in part to IRTA efforts, all retired Indiana teachers received a bonus, or "13th Check", this September which more than pays for membership.

Membership in your association also offers many other benefits, such as, Guaranteed Acceptance Senior Term Life, AT&T Mobility Discount, Verizon Wireless Discount, Apple and Dell computer discounts, CSIdentity Protector℠, 1-800 Flowers, Hear in America, Government Employee Travel Opportunities (GETO), rental car discounts, La Quinta Inn and Suites discounts, and many others (see http://www.retiredteachers.org/benefits2.shtml).

IRTA decided to raise dues because few retired teachers are joining IRTA. Encourage your retired colleagues to join IRTA and AREA to preserve the benefits for everyone. Remind them that they are already enjoying the benefit of IRTA's lobbying efforts with a 13th check in September! Retired administrators should also join. They receive larger pensions from the state retirement fund and also receive the 13th check.

IRTA and AREA are only as strong as their members! (AREA Membership is only $10 a year.)
