The Vigo County Retired Teachers Association members had an enjoyable luncheon, participated in the association’s spring service project to help combat child food insecurity in Vigo County and the greater Wabash Valley, and received an IRTA “Legislative Update” from Area 4 Director Ken Pierce.

Ken Pierce, IRTA Area 4 Director, gave an update on legislative issues that IRTA was following throughout the 2017-2018 legislative session and the upcoming special session, reminded everyone about their IRTA membership benefits, and introduced Lynn Cox as the likely Area 4 Director starting in June 2018. Ken was given special recognition for supporting VCRTA during his tenure as Area 4 Director.

President Millie Vaughn announced that the 2018 Excellence In Education Award for a Retired Teacher was being awarded to Diane Songer. All VCRTA members are encouraged to make reservations and attend the Excellence In Education Awards Banquet on May 10, 2018 at Saint Mary of the Woods College.
