​      Retirees were asked to bring to the meeting school supplies for school children. While strictly voluntary, Operation Book Bag provides school supplies and book bags to local STPSB students in need. Supplies included notebooks, loose leaf paper, pencils, colors, notebooks, construction paper, glue, and children's scissors.




      A Health Fair organized especially for STRSEA members offered a wide variety of information from participants such as St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Ochsner Hospital, Silver Sneakers (with a demo) and Humana.
