The St. Tammany Retired School Employees Association will hold its
annual Christmas holiday meeting luncheon on Thursday, December 14, at
the David Treen Instructional Technology Center in Mandeville, 2024
Livingston Street Mandeville, LA 70448. The meeting begins at 11 a.m.,
with a social membership time at 10:30 a.m.
A pot luck luncheon will be offered as members bring a variety of appetizers, salads and desserts, with the St. Tammany Federal Credit Union adding to part of the luncheon menu. "Pull out that festive holiday sweater and wear it to the meeting," said Roxanne Lagarde, organization president. "We hope to see all our retired school employee members."
Speaking on the subject of community volunteerism, Dee Wild with the Volunteers of America will give an overview of the many opportunities to help throughout the area. Any member who has in mind a particular organization that needs volunteers may bring informational pamphlets or flyers to distribute.
At the STRSEA meeting, members will have the opportunity to bring a new unwrapped toy to donate to Project Christmas, a program that benefits kids on both east and west sides of the parish. One of the fun parts of the meetings are the drawing of names for door prizes, so members are invited to bring items to give away as door prizes as well.
A report on new members will be presented, as well as updates on the organization's T-shirt sales and the upcoming Legislative Meeting next year. Some T-shirts will be available for purchase. Proceeds from T-shirt sales help fund the annual Educational Scholarship Presentation.
Next year, the January 25th meeting will feature Dana Vicknair, the new head of the Teacher's Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL). She is expected to update members on TRSL accomplishments over the past year and the status of pension system returns, a topic of interest to many retired school employees.
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.
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.
