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:
- End of Year Financials
- General Meeting Summary
- President's Corner
- Website update
- 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!

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.
