From The President
Greetings
The month of September is fast approaching and we welcome all the retirees-those who are new and those who have lived
the life of ease for several years. The life of a retiree is one of fun, frivolity, and freedom. We hope that all retirees
will become members of HCRTA. Your local chapter needs you. As one of the largest chapters, we welcome new retirees to join
us in serving on local and state committees. contact either me or one of the HCRTA officers.
Your
HCRTA Board and selected committee have worked thoughout the summer to keep HCRTA running smooth. Information reports are
fortcoming. mark your calendars:September 27, our legislative Breakfast(see our newsletter for details of time and place).
Also look for our updated website in September.
Our September program promises to be one of information
pertinent to all retirees. Plan to attend and learn firsthand about STRS, it's future, and your benefits. In closing,
let me share with you:"Ten Reasons for Being a Retired Educator"
1. No money worries-no
money, no worries
2. Your long range plans are all on the driving range.
3.
You can join a reading group, rather than teach one.
4. More time to be nostalgic about kids rather
than deal with them.
5. You can go to the restroom any time you want.
6.
Pensions relieve tensions.
7. You can make travel plans rather than lesson plans.
8. You can't stop smiling when your friends say you have "no class".
9.
No more children , no more books, nor more parents glaring looks.
10. I'm retired, "your
not"!
Hope to see everyione at our September Meeting
