I'm not sure where the time goes.  Sit down, fasten your seat belt, and hang on.  There is  lot of ground to cover!  Let me start by saying, as many of you already know, the very best place to get the latest up-to-date information affecting Telco is our website.  Dave Dodge is doing an incredible job with it.  (www.telcoretirees.org).  This newsletter comes out approximately once a quarter.  Check out Dave's work and let me know what you think!  OK, this newsletter contains 5 (five) articles, some historical and some forward looking.  They are:

  1. End of Year Financials
  2. General Meeting Summary
  3. President's Corner
  4.  Website update
  5. Great News! (Three items):

Lifetime membership is happening

Welcoming your newest Board member
Moving ahead with Facebook and Telco's expectations

 

In Chuck Gilbert's, Pres. and CEO, column there is a lot of information about the National Retirement Legislative Network (NRLN) and what they are doing.  However, to really be on top of things, visit our website.  One thing that I will say is that the value of the NRLN is more than legislation passed.  Much of the "invisible" value they bring is legislation BLOCKED!

 

Ok, now the meat!

Why is my title getting longer?  (Acting Treasurer, too)  The other Board members tell me I am doing a great job.  Well, look for yourself and you decide.  Regardless, we need a new Treasurer.

Three things here:  1st- the Board has implemented paying the dues for all members who retired in 198o or earlier.  This being implemented now!  However, you are welcome to continue making donations if you are in  position to do so.
 
2nd- Please welcome Ken DeLong as your newest Board member.  Ken was elected by unanimous vote at the General Meeting.  You can see his picture on our website. 
3rd- After much debate, we are moving ahead with Facebook. We realized that help was needed and we got it.  Marci McFall is her name.  Currently, coordination is being done between the new service and our website,  Expect it to be online within two weeks!  We think this is an essential step in growing our organization.
