The St. Tammany Retired School Employees Association will meet at ten
a.m. on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at the David C. Treen Instructional
Technology Center in Mandeville. In observance of Veterans Day, members
are encouraged to wear red, white and blue.
Toys and gifts are being sought for donations to this year's "Project Christmas," so members are asked to bring those items for distribution to boys and girls throughout the parish. For more information on suggested gifts items, CLICK HERE.
A special health fair will be set up early, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., with informational booths on vaccines, medication adherence (bring your medicine in a brown paper bag), screenings, benefit questions, blood pressure checks, etc. The "Silver Sneakers" organization will have a booth and give a demonstration before the meeting. Members who wish to receive flu shots should bring their insurance/health cards.
Vendors will include Humana, St. Tammany Hospital, Mary Byrd Perkins, Tivity Health (Silver Sneakers), and Walgreens. There will also be a healthy cooking demonstration. Health fair booths will remain available for members until 1 p.m.
Members arriving early at 9:30 a.m. will enjoy a social get-together time to catch up with each other since the last meeting, in addition to taking advantage of the health fair booths.
“We feel it is important for our retirees to join both the state retired teachers organization, the LRTA, and our local group, the STRSEA, this year to build our St. Tammany associate and retiree memberships,” said President Roxanne Lagarde. “Membership means a lot to our members as well as insures our voice will be heard when needed. We encourage all public school system retirees to come and join in our association. We hope to see you on November 9th.”
The agenda for the upcoming meeting includes a report on the recent LRTA conference, which several members attended. The business meeting this week will feature the latest reports from the president, the vice president, secretary and treasurer, as well as updates on continuing legislative concerns and the status of educational scholarship applications. As always, there will be fun activities, refreshments, snacks, door prizes and other giveaways.
The Treen Technology Center is located at 2024 Livingston Street in Mandeville. 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. Meetings are generally on the second Thursday of September, November, December, March and May, including an annual Christmas party and spring luncheon.
At a board meeting last week, officers discussed the signing up of new members, the ongoing orders for association T-shirts and polo shirts, and the need for volunteers to teach in various community out-reach organizations.
For a once-only fee of $45, the STRSEA offers a life-time membership that entitles members to vote on association matters, furnishes an identification card that allows St. Tammany members free admission to all home games at school system athletic events and provides a St. Tammany Advantage Rewards (STAR) card for discounts at participating local businesses and restaurants.
For more information, call President Roxanne Lagarde at 985-966-6166. 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.
