Thirty-three members attended our Welcome Back meeting in April. It was great to be together and see familiar faces and some new ones. We want to reach out to retirees from the years we didn't meet in 2020 and 2021. You can help us by passing on the information in this letter to anyone who retired during those years. We now have 2022 retirees to welcome to AREA, too.
Our next meeting/luncheon is Monday, June 27th at
4010 W. Jefferson Blvd
Fort Wayne, IN
Arrive at 11:15 to check-in and pay for your lunch ($20). Jackie Gruesbeck, our treasurer will also be collecting dues $20. Your dues cover printing expenses of the agenda, treasurer and secretary minutes, postage expenses, honorarium for our presenters, and projects AREA supports like Gift of Books.
RESERVATIONS: Please make your reservations with Mary Jo Purvis at 260-492-6992 or mpurvis1@frontier.com by Monday, June 20th. If you are unable to attend after reserving a spot, please cancel with Mary Jo Purvis so someone else can attend and you won't be charged.
