Retiree Meeting

The retirees meet monthly on the third Wednesday of the month at 1:00 pm.  The meeting is held in the retiree lounge.  Its a great way to meet your friends from work, hear about retiree activities and what is going on in the community. The retiree Executive Board also invite guest speakers to talk about issues that are important to retirees. At Christmas and Easter we hold raffles for Turkeys and Hams. Please join us at the next meeting.
