In its first meeting of the new school year, the St. Tammany Retired School Employees Association will
gather at the David C. Treen Instructional Technology Center in Mandeville on Thursday,
September 12.
All St. Tammany public school retirees are
invited to attend this meeting, which begins with a social get-together at 9:30
a.m. and followed by a short business meeting. The short social meeting allows
retirees to visit and catch up with summertime news, while enjoying
refreshments with friends.
The group will begin its
business meeting at 10 a.m. Up for
discussion will be goals for this year along with some proposed group tour bus
excursions. For the first time ever will
be a "book swap," where members can bring and share books from their
libraries that they believe other members will enjoy reading.
The STRSEA meets regularly
throughout the year to provide opportunities for retirees from the school
system to hear about the important issues impacting local and state retirees
and to enjoy fun and fellowship with new and former colleagues. The Treen Technology Center is located at
2024 Livingston Street in Mandeville.
Eric Sacks, the group's
president, said, “We hope our retirees will join both the LRTA and our local STRSEA,
and we look forward to working collectively to continue to increase our St.
Tammany associate and retiree memberships this year. We encourage all public school
system retirees to come and join in our association. We hope to see you on September 12th.”
The STRSEA usually meets throughout the year on the
second Thursday of September, November, December, March and May, including an
annual Christmas party and spring luncheon.
For a once-only fee of $45, the
STRSEA offers a life-time membership that entitles members to vote on
association matters, and
provides a St. Tammany Advantage Rewards (STAR) card for discounts at
participating local businesses and restaurants.
The STRSEA is looking forward to a
great year. For more information, call
President Eric Sacks at 985-710-2800. If
present members have a new email address, please send the update to stpretirees@gmail.com. Retirees may join
the STRSEA at any regularly scheduled meeting or may send a check for $45
payable to STRSEA in care of STRSEA at Post Office Box 2992; Covington,
Louisiana 70434.
