Please make your reservation with Mary Jo Purvis at: 471-5952 or mpurvis1@frontier.com. It would be a great help if you would contact her by October 22nd. If you need special dietary changes, please talk to the wait staff that day. Selections from a limited menu will be available.
The meal cost will be $15.00 payable when you arrive. If you are a 2015 retired teacher or administrator, and you are a first time attendee, your meal is FREE. Members who bring a non-member retiree, will get a TWO-FOR-ONE deal for lunch. Let Mary Jo know when you make your reservation.
The program for this meeting will be John Jacobson, EdD, Dean of the School of Education at Ball State University. He will define Immersion Learning as it is integrated into the BSU curriculum and provide information on implementation. If you attended our June 2015 meeting, we hear from Abby Savage on how she was using this program.
Our new 2015-2016 Membership Directory will be available at this meeting. It is free to all paid members, or it can be sent to you for an additional $2.00 mailing fee. On pages 3 and 4 of the book is the annual information for submitting Volunteer Hours for 2015. This information is so important to submit to our legislators to lobby for COLA. Send your total hours to Arlene Konley by December 1 at:
