The DeWitt County Retired School Personnel met in February at the Cuero ISD Boardroom in Cuero, Texas. President Sandra Tate called the meeting to order. Secretary Joyce Ann Warwas read the minutes of the last meeting, and Judy Faulkner, treasurer, gave the financial report. Judy Fetters shared news about scams aimed at older people and demonstrated some pens that can be used to write checks that cannot be erased.
Retired School Personnel have always volunteered in their communities, and this year DWCRSP has donated 10,624 hours. Ways to let retiring teachers know about the benefi ts of joining DWCRSP were discussed and members will collect and share ideas at a planning meeting to be held in April. Abi Blinka, yoga instructor, provided an interesting and useful program on chair yoga for the group.
March 26 will be the Day at the Capitol for Retired Teachers of Texas to visit with legislators. T-Shirts for this day can be purchased at A Special Stitch in Cuero. The Spring Conference will be held in Refugio in May. The next meeting for this year will be the end of year meeting at Maya’s in Cuero on April 15. A planning meeting will follow the regular meeting.
Any retired person who is part of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, regardless of where the service was rendered or in what capacity, is eligible to belong to the De Witt County Retired School Personnel. For more information about the organization, call Sandra Tate at 361 277 3053.
