Our first of four yearly meetings will be Tuesday, August 18, 2015 a the Lodge at Coyote Creek (formerly Elks Club) at 4935 Hillegas Rd. We will begin our meeting promptly at 11:00 AM. Come at 10:45 to check in an pay your dues!
Please make your reservation with Mary Jo Purvis. It would be a great help if you could contact her by August 12th. If you have special dietary needs, please talk to the wait staff that day. The luncheon will be a delicious buffet with salads and rolls at our places upon arrival.
At our October 2014 meeting, the Lodge at Coyote Creek realized that our service was not what was expected. They were newly opened, and the staff was not coordinated. As an apology, the owners want to offer us all free lunch for this meeting! Instead of paying for your lunch, the AREA board would like to ask you to make a donation to the IRTA Foundation. It is a wonderful opportunity to help many others. If you are writing a donation check, make it payable to Indiana Retired Teachers Foundation. As always, new 2015 retirees will be our guests that day -- make them welcome.
The program for our August meeting will be a presentation by Liz Hincks, Education Coordinator for the Little River Wetlands project at Eagle Marsh. She has a great program to share with us about this important resource in Allen County. Our meeting will conclude with our annual Necrology Service.

- Thursday, October 29, 2015 at Biaggi's Restaurant
