Here are several of us who attended the FREA Assembly in St. Pete. We learned about attracting members, helping each other and the community, and probably most important, about the state of the Florida Retirement System. It seems it is in good shape after suffering some losses in the recession which have not been completely recouped yet.

I am going to ask the Board to consider ways that we might raise some money for our scholarships next fall. Although it is convenient to ask members to donate the money, perhaps it is time for another way to raise funds. Suggestions have been selling items at meetings such as crafts created by some members, Used, but still attractive jewelry sales, book sales, and donated items to be raffled off. Have you ideas? If so, please share them.

Happy Fourth of July. I hope your fireworks are safe, your pets are unafraid, and your potato salad comes out right.

Thank you, Leon Trumbull, for taking on the position of Health Committee Chair for the District.
