President's Letter - May, 2018

Dear Allen County Educators,

Our last of four meetings will be held on Tuesday, June 19th, 2018 at Pine Valley Country Club, 10900 Pine Mills Road. We will begin our meeting promptly at 11:00 a.m. Please arrive by 10:45 a.m. to check in and pay for your lunch. Road construction on Dupont Road allows no "through traffic" from Lima Road to Coldwater Road. Please plan to use Coldwater Road or Auburn Road to access Dupont Road. Extra travel time may be needed.

RESERVATIONS: Please make your reservations with Mary Jo Purvis at 260-492-6992 or mpurvis1@frontier.com by Tuesday, June 12. We will be enjoying delicious luncheon choices by Pine Valley Country Club. Your lunch will cost $15.00 payable when you arrive (cash or check only, please). If you are a 2017 or 2018 retired teacher or administrator (attending for the first time) your meal is free. Members who bring a nonmember (attending the first time) will get a two-for-one deal for lunch. Let Mary Jo know this when you make your reservations.

PROGRAM: Cindy Thies, retired educator and history buff will present "Lesser Known First Ladies – 1865-1892". Cindy guarantees we will learn something new and interesting about our country and the first ladies who served the nation in the aftermath of the Civil War.

AMBA representative Sally Williams will give a brief description of new benefits and services available to members.

IRTA General Assembly report will be given.

DUES: If you have not yet paid your 2017-18 AREA dues of $15.00, contact Pam George at 260-471-5952 or pamgeorgeph@comcast.net or 6316 Tree Top Trail, Fort Wayne, 46845. She also has IRTA information. Please consider joining IRTA through automatic dues deduction from your TRF pension. Support is greatly needed to impact state retirement benefit and education change.

EYEGLASSES: Bring your "old" eyeglasses for Ed Delong to collect for the Lions Club.

ARCHIVES: Any AREA documents or photos that should be saved, should be brought and given to Bruce Oliver.
