At this printing, AREA is looking for volunteers to attend IRTA's Legislative Brunch at the Indianapolis Statehouse on Tuesday, April 4th. Carpools will leave early AM and return by late that afternoon. This is the longer budget legislative session, so it is imperative that we speak up for our retired educators. Call or email AREA President, Barb Kanning by March 23rd, as we will be taking charter buses from the IRTA office in Indy. No parking issues at the statehouse that way, and mileage is paid.
Scholarship information is still available from Nancy Sprague, Committee Chair. If you have a family member who is a college sophomore or junior with an education major this academic year, they are eligible to apply by the April 29th deadline. Time is short. Contact Nancy for an application and guidelines.
The IRTA Representative Assembly will be held on Wednesday, June 14th at Primo South in Indianapolis. We are eligible for a large number of delegates for this informative day, so mark the date on your calendar and join us. We will have carpools organized to attend, and there is NO cost.
Also mark our next meeting date: June 6th at Pine Valley Country Club when Todd Pelfrey, Executive Director of our History Center, will present an Indiana bicentennial program, complete with "hands-on" artifacts!
