The Executive Board meets monthly from September-June. We plan and brainstorm, keeping all our members up-to-date on pertinent information. We revived our newsletter. The latest edition came out June 2024. To view, click the link at the bottom of this page. All members received an email copy. Also, check out the "NEWS!" page on this website to view the brochure we give to all new retirees.

We hold general membership ZOOM meetings every year usually in the winter or early spring. They proved to be a great addition! They allow those who live a distance away, or who just cannot make an in-person meeting, the ability to participate and connect. We hold 3 luncheons a year for all members. Our latest Luncheon was Dec. 12, 2024. Our latest Zoom membership meeting was held February 29, 2024 at 1pm.
