Dear Allen County Retired Educators,

Just a reminder in case you haven't already signed up!

Our last of four annual meetings is soon to be held as we close this school year. It will be on Tuesday, June 14th at Pine Valley Country Club, 10900 Pine Mills Road. We will begin our meeting promptly at 11:00 am, so come at 10:45am to check in and pay for your lunch.

RESERVATIONS: Please make your reservation with Mary Jo Purvis at: 492-6992 OR mpurvis1@frontier.com. It would be a great help if you would contact her by June 7th. You will have a choice of several menu items for our lunch. If you need special dietary changes, please talk to the wait staff that day.

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 nonmember retiree, will get a TWO-FOR-ONE deal for lunch. Please let Mary Jo know when you make your reservation.

The IRTA Representative Assembly will be held on Wednesday, June 15th at Primo South in Indianapolis. We are eligible for 22 delegates for this very informative day, so mark the date on your calendar and join us. We will have carpools organized to attend, and there is NO cost., as AREA will pay for your lunch and continental breakfast. If you are able to represent Allen County that day, please let Barb Kanning know by May 29th to get you registered as a delegate. Call 432-5228 or e-mail at: kanning4@frontier.com.

You must be a member of IRTA to be a voting delegate, but you can also attend as a guest if you are not.
