On Oct. 10, Katy Area Retired Educators (K.A.R.E.) held its monthly meeting and hosted a Political Forum. K.A.R.E. members had an opportunity to hear from candidates, who represent the areas where most members live, for Lieutenant Governor, Senate District 17, House District 28 and House District 132.
K.A.R.E.’s next meeting will be held on November 7 and will feature Yvonne Streit, Founder of Brookwood. All public school employees who retired under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) are welcome to attend and bring a retired educator, friend or neighbor who is not a current member. K.A.R.E. represents anyone who has worked in a school district and retired through TRS. This includes all employees from custodian to superintendent. Others interested in supporting the goals of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) are welcome to join as associate members. Reservations are required. Call Lee Ann Nuckles at 832-594-7533.
K.A.R.E. meetings are held at 11:30 a.m. at the Leonard E. Merrell Center, Room 144, located at the West Entrance. For more information about the Katy Area Retired Educators check out its website at http://www.localunits.org/KARE/ .
